From Snapshots to Social Media - The Changing Picture of Domestic Photography
Springer London Ltd (Verlag)
978-0-85729-246-9 (ISBN)
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.
Risto Sarvas is a Research Scientist working on personal media technologies in the Helsinki Institute for Information Technology HIIT, Finland. He has a doctorate in Computer Science and Engineering for the Helsinki University of Technology, TKK. His thesis was on human-centric design of metadata for snapshot photography, and it was awarded by the Finnish Information Processing Association as the best in 2006, and it was also a finalist for the ERCIM Cor Baayen Award 2007. He was a visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley in 2002-3.
