1 The secret life of teens: Online versus offline photo displays at home Abigail Durrant, David Frohlich, Abigail Sellen and David Uzzell 1 University of Surrey 2 Microsoft Research Cambridge Abstract In this article we describe findings from a recent study in which we interviewed four British teenage girls about their photo display practices, online and offline, in family homes. We adopted a phenomenological approach to inquiry, with a particular interest in exploring how photographic representations of self and family signal self-development in emerging adulthood. Findings reveal how teens portrayed themselves differently to friends, online, and family, offline. Self-presentation to peers was managed separately from the family and largely free from parental control. The separate, online-peer domain was used to explore alternative self-representations with real friends. Our findings appear to signal changing politics of photo ownership and family representation between the generations.
