If you are holding a small-sized photoshoot in the city, you will not need to request council permission. However, if you plan to bring a large crew for your photoshoot, you will need to request a permit from the proper city department. Locations such as municipal property, public footpaths, green space and car parks will always require you to apply for a permit before your photoshoot. Photoshoots in private homes and properties are also subject to these rules and regulations. Proof of liability insurance as well as risk assessments will be required with your application.

This city is a favourite with photographers for a good reason. There are some traditional iconic locations for striking shots in places such as the stadiums at Villa Park and St Andrew's or the Bullring or Grand Central shopping centres. However, many other areas are perhaps a bit off the beaten track, but worth a look. The towpaths and canals of the city are high on the list of beautiful locations. Radiating outwards from Sherborne Wharf, this network passes through some of the city's most appealing areas. For vintage charm, this is the place to start. For a more natural backdrop, check out the Botanical Gardens or areas such as Joy's Wood Local Nature Reserve or Edgbaston. For unspoiled charm, you cannot beat these photoshoot locations. Modern architectural triumphs also deserve a look in. Check out areas such as Brindleyplace or the modern art gallery Ikon. Birmingham also offers several underdeveloped areas such as The Bond for a more natural look.
