Who is Taking the Photo, Then?

Sharing about one’s relationship on social media can create a sense of connection and intimacy between partners. They can share and celebrate the relationship milestones and experiences with the broader audience. Many couples think social media can protect their relationships by signaling to others that they are in a committed and exclusive partnership.

But again, not everything is authentic. Who clicked the picture if it’s just the two of them? Her beau had the photographer perched on his back to capture the perfect angle of this intimate moment. Such strategically captured photos might look good on our Instagram feed, but the reality is different.
