You will need to apply for a filming permit if your photoshoot falls into certain categories. For example, if your photo shoot involves more than 6 people (including the crew) and requires more than one camera and limited equipment. You also are restricted if your photoshoot will impede traffic or pedestrian access to public areas. For exterior locations, there may be time restrictions during which you will not be able to conduct your photo shoot. For private locations, these restrictions may also apply.
For a maternity photoshoot, it’s great to use outdoor locations, such as parks, gardens, and picturesque beaches! Imagine a maternity photoshoot conducted in the beautiful rays of a sunset amid the waves! You can use easily accessible St Kilda beach for these photos, or take a longer drive to Williamstown Beach, or Half Moon Bay.
