## The story

Dinner out became a photo shoot. Plates were rotated, glasses moved, napkins arranged. Someone always leaned way over the table for the overhead angle. Kids learned that pancakes looked better near the window. The food was often cold by the time anyone ate, but at least it looked amazing with a warm filter.

## Fun fact

Servers at popular brunch spots started offering to hold plates higher for photos, which earned them bigger tips.
