As others have suggested, photos of previous generations look a lot like strangers, absent a story connecting them across a lifetime, and ideally all the way to the present.

The story furthermore must have enough intrinsic drama to engage readers, and fall into the hands of a writer with the skills to turn the raw facts into a biography.

The biographic text provides a structure to hang the photos on, yielding a "photobiography". Search for the term and you'll find examples.
