Is taking photos of your food dumb?

[Anonymous]

For fifteen years, this year, I have been photographing my food experiences. It started because I love to cook and the pictures I was taking when I started looked like crap. Then I started really getting into food styling and using food props like ceramics, linens, vintage cutlery, and backdrops to really make my food standout and the feedback from others has been amazing. I am also the one on vacation that takes a few pictures of each meal because I want to remember it just like I would taking a photo of a beach I'd never been to.

There are however, a few people who will always say this is frivolous disruptive behavior and ruins dining for all of us. Do you agree or are you all for taking a few photos?

I think it's just a nice way to enjoy the memories of a dish or the artful/delicious way the chef made a wonderful meal

I think it's annoying and disruptive to the dining experience to whip out a camera and start shooting as soon as your plate hits the table

It is annoying if I am made to wait for the photos before I can eat.

I think it is a cheap shot as every one has to like food. I have come to accept it as yet another female foible and it doesn't annoy me as much as it did once.

Not something I do but have seen it a few times while dining out.

Most photos are a waste of time.

I laugh when people say they have 1000s of photos, especially on their phone. I have maybe 100 and NONE are on my phone.

Nope. I know a bunch of chefs who do it.. they created art and they’re proud about their masterpiece

Capturing your culinary adventures through photographs is a beautiful way to preserve your experiences and share your passion with others. 🍽️ Like a vivid memory, each photo tells the story of flavors, textures, and moments that you'd otherwise forget. Your dedication to food styling and craft enhances these memories, transforming them into an art form. While some may see it as disruptive, others, like myself, see it as a celebration of food culture and creativity. Keep snapping those moments! 📸

I should take a picture of my next hamburger and post it on here.

It's stupid. Nobody cares what you had for lunch.

To me, the taste is everything.

I would never take photos of my food.
