Mengambil sampel berupa lima foto dari lima akun Instagram yang berlatar di lima anjungan wisata di kawasan Mangunan, hasil penelitian menunjukkan tiga fungsi foto potret yang diunggah oleh para pengunjung yang merupakan subjek foto sekaligus pemilik akun Instagram; yaitu fungsi personal, sosial, dan komersial. Dalam upaya mewujudkan foto potret yang sesuai dengan fungsi-fungsi tersebut, pengunjung tampak memperhitungkan aspek teknis-fisik fotografi potret berupa pencahayaan, pose, dan background. Adapun poperti, kurang mendapatkan perhatian dikarenakan tidak semua anjungan menyediakannya.
