Ask before taking photographs
A public place does not remove a person’s right to dignity. Ask permission before taking close photographs, especially of children, workers, ceremonies or private moments.
Pay fairly and understand what is included
Choose organizers who describe services clearly and avoid pressuring communities to provide unpaid access or performance.
Reduce waste and environmental pressure
Carry reusable items where practical, follow site rules and never remove natural or cultural objects.
