How digital photography remade our world

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 under-stand 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.

Nathan Jurgenson is a social media theorist. He was cofounder of the Theorizing the Web conference and founder and editor-in-chief of Real Life magazine. He previously worked as a sociologist at Snap Inc., parent company of Snapchat, from 2013 to 2022.
