Question

【题目】 When the food we order at a restaurant arrives, the first thing most of us want to do is enjoy it right away. But for every person who just wants to eat their meal, there’s another who must take at least five photos of their food to share on social media.

While this may seem like a recent situation, “foodtography(美食摄影)” has been around for longer than one would expect.

Take US photographer Irving Penn for example. In 1947, Vogue magazine published a series of food photos taken by Penn. When people look at the carefully placed salad ingredients or the series of cakes on road shops, it would be easy to think Penn’s 70-year-old photos were taken just last week.

Besides Penn’s efforts(努力), it seems that social media is behind the recent rise of foodtography. Today, if a social media star with thousands of followers posts( 发 布 ) just one delicious-looking food picture and mentions where it was taken, it can lead to hundreds of new customers for the restaurant or café.

One such star is “Clerkenwell Boy” with over 100,000 followers in Instagram. He tries to use his influence for good by encouraging people not to waste food.

Research found that 55 percent of the 18- to 34-year-olds it surveyed were more likely to try to create Instagram-friendly dishes that can be popular in Instagram. Leading to increased food waste. So while it’s fun to share snaps of delicious dishes with your friends, just remember the most important thing: Don’t forget to eat your meal afterwards.
