Camera question

Post by Brightly » Sat Jan 17, 2015 6:28 am

Hi y'all,
I was curious about photography at BM. I've been to other events where the organizers ask you to sign a camera use policy (to make sure that folks are aware of good camera etiquette like asking permission first, etc).

I'm not a professional photographer so I won't be making any products from the photos I take but I was wondering if I needed to go to Center Camp to sign anything to be able to take pics outside of my camp?

Thanks!

Only professional photographers, with professional cameras need to register them. Cameras for the regular folk are expected to be used responsibly. You can't use any photos taken at Burning Man for commercial use--without permission of the org. You should not be taking photos of people without their consent, especially if they are lacking clothing. In short, you can use your camera, but be respectful.
