The social photo: on photography and social media

Uittreksel

"The selfie, the faux-vintage photo, the self destructing image, the food photo-- these new visual forms and the devices and platforms that facilitate them have fomented a cultural revolution. Not only has the art of photography and the industry around it been transformed, but the way we understand ourselves has changed. The Social Photo provides a language and conceptual framework to comprehend photography in the age of social media. This updated edition includes a new preface contemplating the fate of the social photo in the era of AI-generated images."--Back cover.
