NYC beaches - is a permit needed?
I've looked this up as best I could and can't quite figure out if you need a permit in order to do a photoshoot on the beach with an elaborate lighting setup that includes multiple stands. I understand that parks require a permit, but I can't find any information on whether if the same applies for the beach (brighton, coney island, etc etc).

That's part of the permit fee... If it's just a camera and one stand you are fine. I do it often. http://www.nycgovparks.org/ Jul 28 14 08:23 am Link ^ I get that. I'm pretty sure I mentioned that in my original post. There just isn't any specific reference to beaches. As for shooting on the beach, I've already done it too. I've been hawk-eyed even while having no stands. Jul 28 14 08:32 am Link MRezin wrote: Beaches are covered in Parks and Rec. They don't mention them but it's their turf..... Jul 28 14 08:36 am Link |
