Familia Zaragoza

Thanks to this old drama series on Channel 2, family photographs were never the same again. Suddenly, everyone wanted a photo where everyone looks stern and someone looks like a villain. And this shot became a classic, and almost iconic.

Some people even use it as a descriptor. Like they would tell the photographer: Isang Familia Zaragoza shot naman. And the photographer would know exactly what to do.

I think the series ended almost a decade ago, but the "Familia Zaragoza" pose continues to live on.

Needless to say, Maya and I had to have a Familia Zaragoza shot during her wedding.
