foodstagrammer

Cuisine content creator

A foodstagrammer is someone who regularly posts photographs of food on Instagram, often with careful attention to presentation, lighting, and styling.

The term can be neutral or slightly mocking, depending on context: We had to wait ten minutes while the foodstagrammer at the next table photographed every dish.
