No, seriously, what do you think?
The original photo (on the right) was taken by Anthony Bila, a South African photographer. Much to his surprise, it now seems to be in the new Nando’s menu.
Bila took to Facebook to express his thoughts:
So Nando’s decided to take one of my photographs and use it in their menu. They decided to do this without my permission or the permission of the model, my friend Zano Skorzch Sithetho. This is beyond problematic. I’ve tried to contact Nando’s, no response as of yet…
He is also “unsure whether the appropriation of his image is copyright infringement as the photo has been reworked through the collage treatment of it”.
Nando’s has responded, saying they “are investigating the allegation. We [Nando’s] recognise the importance of copyright in terms of images and will revert as soon as our investigations are complete.”
