Professional photographers cannot
shoot on the Isle of Palms
We shoot them on another beach
instead that is 10 minutes away.
You are reading correctly. It is
actually illegal for a professional
photographer to shoot on the beach on the Isle
of Palms. Illegal to the tune of
$1,100.00. An $1,100 ticket for taking
photos of people. It is one of the
highest fines that you can get. Much
higher than speeding, reckless driving, public
nudity and other things that endanger residents
and visitors.
Yep, the city council of the Isle of Palms
actually thinks that taking pictures on the
beach is worthy of a HUGE fine. Therefore,
as you can imagine, we do not shoot on the
beach on the Isle of Palms. It is way too
high of a risk for us.
We were interviewed by two local
papers on this very subject. Please
see:
Can we fight it? You can
help.
Since the photographers in the area have
gotten no traction on fighting this law,
perhaps you the visitor could do
something. If you have not rented a home
on the Isle of Palms yet, choose Folly Beach
instead. Along with that, you should call
the city of Isle of Palms and tell them that
you rented elsewhere because they won't let you
have your picture made on the beach.
Perhaps with your help, we can change it.
