Virtual animal filters have become a widespread phenomenon on social media platforms such as Snapchat and Instagram. Snapchat originally launched face filters in 2015 and promoted them as “a whole new way to see yourself(ie)”. But what kind of self(ie) do these animal filters show us?
“Animal filters are a selective and aesthetic form of biomimicry. Nature has an aura of authenticity and beauty and is a terrific marketing tool. We call this phenomenon biomimicmarketing: using images of nature to market a product”
“The cute versus wild paradox is illustrating the human experience of nature in our contemporary society. The use of animal filters is actually emphasizing that “I am not an animal, therefore I can pretend to be one”.
“Contrary to our first hunch, animal filters do not bring us closer to animals. Instead, they enable us to distance ourselves from the species we do not belong to. The humanized animal filters are reinforcing our anthropocentric worldview, in which humans are the center of existence and largely distanced from animals.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This offers an interesting foray into the strange phenomenon of animal filters and the unusual blending of animalistic qualities with qualities of normative feminine beauty (bigger eyes, smaller chin, smooth skin, etc.). Once again a highly feminized media affordance (girls are much more likely to use this tool), what does this say about the ways in which women are expected to present themselves?
Further, how can this shape our thoughts regarding the photography of animals (including the new filters that can recognize and mesh with animals faces)? Animal photography seems to, at times, walk a difficult line between the surveillance and non-censensual claiming of animals subjects, ensnaring them in the web of digital presentation, or the relegation of animals to the position of photographed objects, styled and shared as we please. How can the study of non-human life and animal subjectivity complicate social media’s obsession with animals in photography.
