From Snapshots to Social Media describes the history and future of
domestic photography as mediated by technological change. Domestic
photography refers to the culture of ordinary people capturing,
sharing and using photographs, and is in a particular state of flux
today as photos go digital. The book argues that this digital era
is the third major chapter in the 170 year history of the area;
following the portrait and Kodak eras of the past. History shows
that despite huge changes in photographic technology and the way it
has been sold, people continue to use photographs to improve
memory, support communication and reinforce identity. The future
will involve a shift in the balance of these core activities and a
replacement of the family album with various multimedia archives
for individuals, families and communities. This raises a number of
issues that should be taken into account when designing new
technologies and business services in this area, including: the
ownership and privacy of content, multimedia standards, home ICT
infrastructure, and younger and older users of images. The book is
a must for designers and engineers of imaging technology and social
media who want a better understanding of the history of domestic
photography in order to shape its future. It will also be of value
to students and researchers in science and technology studies and
visual culture, as a fascinating case study of the evolving use of
photographs and photographic technology in Western society.
