Born in 83.
Lots of photos in albums but as far as I'm aware, except for a video from a primary school event in 1989 there are no recordings of my in existence from prior to 2005ish.

Get some photos and maybe a recording of a well told story from either of them. I wish i had.
I have none because my parents were lazy, bad at organising, constsnty fatigued and didn't have dedicated shelf space to put it in. Wish I had more. We do have photobooks, they basically stopped taking photos from when I was 6/7 onwards though.
I haven't taken phptos of myself in a while because my phones were usually crap and had storage issues. Maybe i'll do it tomorrow bht with my Digital camera
I have an ambivalent relationship with parents and never really intentionally asked them to like… pose for a photo… don’t think I had any photos of family lol…
I think i asked them to take more photos once or twice, didn't amount to anything
Very few photos. And, no video or movies at all.
I don't care, though, I don't think much about the past. I reminisce occasionally, but it's not a big part of my mental landscape. I haven't looked at the photos I do have of family at all in many, many years.
None to speak of.
I'm pretty sure I have some from almost random pointd throughout at least a good part of my life squirreled away somewhere, but I couldn't tell you where.
My favorite ex-girlfriend has a bajillion pictures of me, since she takes photos constantly and always wants people in them, so I was the most common subject for a time. I never even really looked at them then though, and now they're on the other side of the country (though if they were here, I still probably wouldn't look at them).
It's not so much that I dislike them or anything - I've just never really seen the point, and never even really think about it.
