Abstract. The article analyzes the transformation of the traditions of the use and functioning of photographs in the dwellings of the population of Odesa region for 150 years as an expressive component of folk life from the perspective of historical-anthropological approach. Changes in the typology of residential interiors have led to the active penetration of photographs into the living space of urban and rural residents. Observation was provided in a comparative perspective: the study was conducted among various settlements, individual ethnocultural, confessional and territorial groups of the region. Relevance of the topic: in the modern digital world, we observe an expansion of the range, a change in functions, shapes, as well as demonstrations of a traditional photo image. To study the regional specifics of the national visual thinking and culture of the multi-ethnic region of Odesa region, photographs should be introduced into the scientific circulation that reflect or are used for interior decoration of housing.
