“…Previous research has similarly shown that photo-sharing can be valuable for relationship building in the workplace by creating a sense of community for geographically dispersed workers [21]. Photographs are highly personal forms of communication [7]. Studies have shown that photo-sharing has emotional significance in family settings and within intimate friendship groups [2,11].…”

“…One of the key challenges for aged care workers is negotiating boundaries between personal and professional roles, as caregivers attempt to provide personal care in a professional context [12,20]. Of course, boundary-crossing between work and personal lives occurs in other settings too [15], and is especially challenging when new mobile and social technologies are introduced into the work and home environment [7]. Boundary negotiations also occur when new healthcare technologies are used in the home [1].…”

In this paper we examine the use of a novel social technology to support the provision of formal aged care services to clients who live in their own homes. Social technologies offer enormous potential for enhancing aged care, but research on their use in aged care has largely focused on institutional or informal care settings, rather than formal care in the home. Meanwhile, technologies for aging in place typically focus on monitoring and security, rather than psychosocial support. We conducted a field study in which aged care managers used a photo and message-sharing tool to communicate with clients living in their own homes. Our findings demonstrate that visual and social forms of communication are valuable for supporting psychosocial care-giving, but there are barriers to effectively adopting new communication tools in this setting. Time constraints inhibited care managers' use of the technology, which was also influenced by their efforts to carefully maintain boundaries between their personal and professional lives.

“…As contemporary sharing of photos increasingly involves use of the Internet, photography contributes to online 'knowledge production, interventions, and social action' (Luttrell and Chalfen 2010, 197). It also serves as a medium for self-expression and identity in digital contexts (boyd and Ellison 2007;Graham et al 2011;Mendelson and Papacharissi 2010;Sarvas and Frohlich 2011).…”

Digital photographic practices as expressions of personhood and identity: variations across school leavers and recent retirees

Over the last two decades, digital photography has been adopted by young and old. Many young adults easily take photos, share them across multiple social networks using smartphones, and create digital identities for themselves consciously and unconsciously. Is the same true for older adults? As part of a larger mixed-methods study of online life in the UK, we considered digital photographic practices at two life transitions: leaving secondary school and retiring from work. In this paper, we report on a complex picture of different kinds of interactions with visual media online, and variation across age groups in the construction of digital identities. In doing so, we argue for a blurring of the distinctions between Chalfen's 'Kodak Culture' and Miller and Edwards' 'Snaprs'. The camera lens often faces inwards for young adults: tagged 'Selfies' and images coconstructed with social network members commonly contribute to their digital identities. In contrast, retirees turn the camera's lens outwards towards the world, not inwards to themselves. In concluding, we pay special attention to the digital social norms of co-creation of self and balancing convenience and privacy for people of varying ages, and what our findings mean for the future of photo-sharing as a form of self-expression, as today's young adults grow old and retire.

“…Based on the comments of reviewers and editors these authors were urged to add narrative interpretations in order to make clear what the authors' interpretations were, not withstanding that readers might develop their own understandings. This, and associated debates, are not new (see for example Curtis (2009) on visual representation and scholarly work; Graham, Laurier, O'Brien, and Rouncefield (2011) on shifting boundaries and new visual technologies). They were ones we had as editors when we began.…”
