In today’s world, food photography on social media could be used in many different ways such as advertising or comparing whose plate of food looks the best the on Thanksgiving. The social media platform Instagram is well-known for Food photography, with over billions of user and numerous of people may own a bodega or restaurant uses Instagram to capture that urge craving one may have after seeing their photographs of the different foods or show the quality of work that they can produce. In the article Best of Instagram of Food Photograph by Amadou Diallo, he states that “Adrianna Adarme, combines a passion for food and photography to delicious effect on her Instagram feed, A Cozy Kitchen. In a style this former filmmaking student describes as, “casual and inspired by color”, Adarme uses an expert eye for shape and texture to create sumptuous visual treats of everything from three course meals to Mister Softee cones.” With that being said I believe Instagram and Food photography goes hand-in-hand with each other. Reason being is because many Food companies such as Sprite, Popeyes, Papa John’s uses social media for commercial purposes and promote new meals.
