dc.description.abstract | While studying Finnish users of the online dating app Tinder searching for longterm partnerships, we paid attention to the importance of photos in their social
interactions. Based on our study, we argue that photos play an important role in online
dating. Initially, photos are chosen and uploaded to influence future interactions,
particularly regarding who will contact them via their profile. We term this particular
future tense of photography forecasted photos. Second, photos enabled the creation of
copresence between dates, especially via instant messaging services instantly after
capture. Third, the classic notions of photos depicting the past became important when
wanting to be reminded of previous meetings. Taken together, we argue that photos
enhance intimacy building while dating on social media. This role should be accounted
for by paying attention not only to photography’s relation to the past or the present, but
also to a future tense of photography. | en |
