Abstract
In the digital era, there are still a large number of photos being printed instantly. These instant photographs can be seen as an indispensable approach for human beings to perceive their interactions with the society. In this study, ethnographic interviews, visual diaries and a creative workshop are conducted to investigate photo-printer users’ motivation and to explore their photo-using scenarios. From sociological and designing perspectives, four relationships between humans and printed photos are explored—documentary, narrative, self-representation and anchor. This study contributes to increasing the understanding of the relationship and will inspire designers in developing relative innovative products, services and systems.
