photoblogging

Online image diary

Photoblogging is maintaining a blog where photographs are the primary content rather than text.

The practice emerged in the early 2000s alongside digital cameras and platforms like Flickr, allowing photographers to share daily images with commentary.

A photoblogger might document street scenes, personal projects, or visual journals.

The term has become less common as image-centric social media platforms have absorbed much of this activity.
