A recent study provides insights into people’s motivations for including themselves in photos. Published in the journal, the research discovered that first-person photos, offering the scene from the individual’s viewpoint, best represent the physical experience of an event. However, third-person images, such as selfies, more effectively convey the deeper significance of the event.
“These photos with you in it can document the bigger meaning of a moment,” she said. “It doesn’t have to be vanity.”Previous research suggested that capturing the physical experience of an event or its broader meaning may be two important motivations for taking personal photos. In one online study, participants read a scenario in which they might want to take a photo, such as spending the day at a beach with a close friend. They were asked to rate how important the experience itself would be for them, and how important the bigger meaning would be. Results showed that the higher participants rated the meaning of the event to them, the more likely they said they would take a photo with themselves in it.
Results showed that if the photo featured the participant in the shot, they were more likely to say the photo made them think of the bigger meaning of the moment, while photos featuring how the scene looked from their own visual perspective made them think of the physical experience. For example, if they said their goal was to capture the meaning of the moment, they liked the photo more if it was taken in third person, with themselves in the image.
