Once, when the food we ordered at a restaurant arrived, the first thing we wanted to do was to eat right away. Others want to take at least five photos of their food to share on social media, such as Wechat.
“Foodtography” has been around for longer than one would expect. Take US photographer Irving Penn (1917-2009) for example. In 1947, Vogue magazine published many food photos taken by Penn. Looking at the carefully put salad ingredients or the cakes on stands(货 架), it would be easy to think Penn's 70-year-old photos were taken just last week.
Besides Penn's efforts, it seems that social media is behind the recent rise of foodtography.
And the star posts just one delicious-looking food picture with the place where it was taken. It can bring hundreds of new customers for the restaurant.
So while it's fun to share pictures of delicious dishes with your friends, just remember the most important thing:
A. Don't forget to eat your meal afterwards.
B. But now, some people just want to eat their meal.
C. Today, a social media star may have thousands of fans.
D. In fact, taking pictures before meals is not a recent thing.
