Post subject: | New York Restaurants Have Informal Ban on Food Photos |
http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/restaurants-placing-informal-ban-food-flash-photography/story?id=18302662 Attention, foodies: Restaurant owners are asking you to stop snapping photos of your gourmet brie cheeseburger with truffle oil-drenched fries. The days of simply dining and enjoying have changed. More and more restaurant-goers are pulling out their smartphones or digital cameras and taking photos of elaborate entrees and dishes at New York City restaurants. This growing trend is commonly known as foodstagram, a photo taken on a cellphone and quickly posted online. |

I see the complaint about flashes, or standing on your chair (WTH?), but complaining about just taking a quick shot is out of line. If we are going to toss someone for every action that bothers someone, there are going to be no people left in the restaurant. |

I don't see the fuss either. Most people are just taking a quick snap with their cell phones. Seems like it would be a little free advertising. Mary |

I wish I had thought to take pictures of the dinner at Menton. The dishes were so beautiful, and unusual in size, e.g. the tiny onion Madeleines. |

Alina, My husband took photos at No.9 Park but as I recall they did not look that appetizing. It was the photography/er not the food! iPhones just don't cut it in the food photography realm. One of my BIL's is a professional food photographer and he's forever taking photos for his stock annuity business, never in a restaurant though. When we were touring some vineyards in Michigan a few summers back, he was taking close up photos of raspberry bushes and the proprietor was quick to inquire if his shots were for business or hobby. |
