foodporn
Drool-inducing dish photos
Foodporn is images of food presented to look exceptionally appealing—glossy, perfectly lit, styled to maximize craving.
The term emerged from social media culture, where sharing glamorous food photos became a genre: My Instagram is basically all foodporn.
Like other -porn compounds, it suggests visual content designed to provoke desire rather than inform.
