This trend has no clear origin but a guess would be the time after the smartphone application "Instagram" was released. Firstly, "Instagram" was released in October, 2010 in the Itunes store, Google play store and Windows Phone store for smartphones. The price for the application in these stores are priceless, so anyone with a smartphone and likes taking photos would have most likely downloaded this application. The application allows the user to take a picture, put a filter, write a short description and then post it while being shared on other social networks.

What was a trend utilising this application was taking pictures of food, in particular the food you are eating, then filter the photo and just post it. The reason for posting these type photos is just share the good look of untouched food, mainly aimed at foodies(people that love food), friends and family. Through the filters, it can complement the look of the food just like how it would with a picture of a person. Also everyone likes looking at food with presentation.
