Leo Polhuis was a Dutch amateur photographer who documented his family life with an anthropological level of detail. He began photographing his first baby in 1959 and continued to record all family activities until 1981, when he became ill. His work is characterized by the enthusiasm typical of a Dutch amateur but is noted for its exceptional quality even by snapshot standards. The collection of his photographs was published as 'The L.P. Polhuis Archive: An Ordinary Family Album' in 2004.[1,2]
