Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

I think I read somewhere that it's a no no to take photographs inside coffeeshops in Amsterdam. Is that true?

i just asked that in the coffee shop section as u should of asked this there and the ancer is if theres a sign no but u shoudl ask

at minimum, check with the people sitting around you...

yeah dont just start snapping away you could cause some trouble, ask nicely you never know...

yea if im wanted internationaly ima fuck u up if u take a pic of me

Just be sure to ask first. I have found that most of the time you will be told it is fine.

I've had people ask if I mind being in the corner of their photo, and I have no probs with it.... but imagine if you work for an American Bank..... You dont want a photo of you chuffing away on a joint in a coffeeshop all over the internet...

show the state of the world we live in

smoking is my lifestyle i will never change or hide my lifestyle (except in a traffic stop) i am what i am

Just be courteous to those around you is the main point...

I am one of those people Ash is talking about, you take my picture in a coffeeshop I will probably take your camera.

*edited for grammar mistakes*

lol i respect that and i would defend your rightnot to be photographed to the death because video cams r bullshit

I'm an amature photographer and I've gotten used to blurring out faces. If I take any shots in public areas I have to blur any recognizable faces before I can sell that picture for profit (or get a signed release from the person who's face it is).

However, I'll have to communicate that point BEFORE I start shooting lol.
