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.
