“Sharing	
  food	
  has	
  always	
  been	
  a	
  
social	
  ritual,	
  and	
  sharing	
  photos	
  of	
  
that	
  food	
  can	
  serve	
  as	
  an	
  extension	
  
of	
  this,

  when

  ones	
  
are	
  absent.	
  	
  
	
  
However	
  not	
  all	
  moQvaQons	
  are	
  
socially	
  posiQve,	
  and	
  our	
  sample	
  
was	
  self-­‐selecQng

At

  food	
  is	
  what	
  we	
  depend

  for

  Historically

  In	
  a	
  world	
  in	
  which	
  social	
  Qes	
  are	
  increasingly	
  
fragmented	
  and	
  scaMered,	
  sharing	
  images	
  of	
  our	
  food	
  	
  
allows	
  us	
  not	
  only	
  to	
  connect	
  with	
  our	
  loved	
  ones	
  and	
  
express	
  our	
  own	
  sense	
  of	
  idenQty,	
  it	
  also	
  brings

  • 4. @TheWebPsych  @DigitalBlonde   Image  @GBChefs  |Chef  Robert  Thompson   Is  it  socially  acceptable  to  share  food  photos?   #FoodPsych   “Sharing  food  has  always  been  a   social  ritual,  and  sharing  photos  of   that  food  can  serve  as  an  extension   of  this,  especially  when  loved  ones   are  absent.       However  not  all  moQvaQons  are   socially  posiQve,  and  our  sample   was  self-­‐selecQng  which  means  they   may  not  reflect  the  views  of  all   social  groups.”     Nathalie  Nahai  
  • 5. @TheWebPsych  @DigitalBlonde   Image  @GBChefs  |Chef  Andy  Waters   When  are  you  most  likely  to  post  a   picture  of  food?  #FoodPsych  
  • 6. @TheWebPsych  @DigitalBlonde  #FoodPsych   Image  @GBChefs  |Chef  Josh  Eggleton   “We  were  delighted  that  such  a  high   percentage  of  people  thought  it  was   socially  acceptable  to  share  food   photos.  EaQng  good  food  is  a  social   experience  and  just  as  people  talk   about  a  parQcularly  good  meal   they've  eaten,  it's  now  easy  to  share   with  a  click  of  a  buMon  through   Instagram,  TwiMer  or  Facebook.     We'll  be  keen  to  see  whether  micro   video  sharing  of  food  on  tools  such   as  Vine  comes  into  play  in  the   future”     Great  BriOsh  Chefs     “I  was  surprised  by  the  high  percentage   of  people  who  post  photos  as  soon  as  the   food  arrives  at  the  table  –  it  paints  a   picture  of  dining  out  evolving  from  a   shared  experience  with  your  dining   companions  to  a  socially  shared   experience  with  an  infinite  community.  It   would  be  interesQng  to  know  whether   this  behaviour  was  influenced  by  the  type   of  place  they  were  dining  in  –  is  it  more   acceptable  to  share  photos  in  Dirty   Burger  than  when  at  Le  Manoir  Aux  Quat’   Saisons,  for  example.     Eleanor,  Square  Meal    
  • 7. @TheWebPsych  @DigitalBlonde  #FoodPsych   Image  @GBChefs  |Chef  Shaun  Rankin   "We  help  people  create  food  that  creates   a  'wow  factor'  when  it  first  appears  on  the   table,  so  it  was  encouraging  to  see  that   people  are  more  likely  to  share  food  just   as  it  is  presented  before  them.”   Great  BriQsh  Chefs    
  • 8. @TheWebPsych  @DigitalBlonde   Image  @GBChefs  |Chef  Robert  Thompson   Which  device  do  you  use  to  upload  your  food   images  to  social  networks?   #FoodPsych

  • 11. “I’m  not  surprised  the  number  one   reason  people  share  food  images  is   because  they  are  proud  of  what  they   have  made.  Sorted's  own  community   started  an  unofficial  FaceBook   compeQQon  to  be  the  first  to  rush  out   and  buy  the  ingredients,  make  the  dish   and  post  a  photo  online."   Jamie,  Sorted  Food   @TheWebPsych  @DigitalBlonde   Image  @GBChefs  |Chef  Tom  Aikens

  • 13. "It's  great  to  see  people  recording   the  results  of  wonderful  food   they've  cooked  themselves.  There's   a  joy  in  cooking  and  eaQng  excellent   food  but  also  a  joy  in  sharing  food   through  photography  for  the   benefit  of  people  who  weren't   there.  We  love  to  see  this  pride  in   producing  good  food.”     Great  BriOsh  Chefs     @TheWebPsych  @DigitalBlonde   Image  @GBChefs  |Chef  Josh  Eggleton  
  • 14. @TheWebPsych  @DigitalBlonde   Image  @GBChefs  |Chef  Sumayya   "The  fact  people  are  posQng   images  because  the  food  looks   beauQful  is  also  interesQng  -­‐  if   you're  out  at  a  restaurant,  the   presentaQon  is  likely  to  be   beMer  than  at  home,  which   makes  sense.  AddiQonally,  if   our  audience  have  gone  to  the   effort  of  making  a  dish  from   scratch,  they're  more  likely  to   take  care  over  the   presentaQon  to  make  sure  the   food  is  appreciated  properly.”   Jamie,  Sorted  Food
