Jesica,

I am not sure of any specific fields, but if you head south in Chandler/Gilbert (South of the 202 and east of Lindsey or Val Vista) you should run into a lot of fields. Not sure if there are any crops right now, but just drive around in that area and you should find something.

Hi! I am looking for an open field, almost like a wheat field! Do you know of a location like this in the Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert area? Thanks

Hi Christina,
I have never photographed in a junkyard before. But I would imagine you would need to get permission since they are a private business. I would find one you want to photograph and give them a call to see if they will allow you to photograph and what, if anything, they charge.

Good luck.

Mike,

Do you know of any cool junkyards around Phoenix for a photo shoot?

Laura,

I am not an expert, but as I understand it you need a permit for commercial photography. But you would not need one for a photo shoot such as a wedding or family portraits. Your best resource is probably the Phoenix film office – http://phoenix.gov/econdev/filmphx/index.html

New to Phoenix and wanted to find out if you need permits for doing paid shoots in local parks, etc?

Hi Jen,

I have never photographed inside the library. But I have seen photos on Flickr and what not taken inside. I would think you would need permission to do a photo shoot. You could probably just ask at the main desk. Good luck and thanks!

Have you ever taken photos *inside* the library? We’re thinking of places for our family photos coming up and there are many places inside (top floor, near elevator, just in the stacks with books) that would be cool for photos. Are you aware of whether or not that is allowed?

Thanks! Love your list–lots of good ideas!

In 2010, after this article was written the federal courts ruled that it was not illegal to photograph federal buildings. Read about it here: http://dcist.com/2010/10/feds_affirm_photographers_rights.php
