For Thanksgiving, I had turkey with a side of mashed potatoes. Food photography has become somewhat of a sensation for others. With social media platforms like Snapchat, people are able to share their experiences immediately by posting a picture or video on their profile. Many of my friends on Snapchat often send me pictures of the food that they are currently eating so that they can tease me. In addition, many celebrities or accounts that have a lot of followers often earn money by promoting and advertising with a picture or video. All they have to do is promote the product asked for by sharing it on their account. Therefore, food photography can be in ways, an extremely powerful source.
Good point about the friendly teasing, lots of people do use social media in that way with friends and family. It’s a way to state “look what I’m doing and you’re not”, which can also be seen as a way of saying “wish you were here with me.”
