Does one need a permit for personal photography in Tel Aviv Yafo?
I was looking though some websites and came across permit requirements on Tel Aviv Municipality site and Filming in the Tel Aviv site. These sites mention that permits may be needed for photography in the city. I am not sure if this applies only to people producing commercial works or if it also applies to general tourists.
Will I need a permit for
- Personal or family photography?
- Art pictures that I take as a non-professional photographer / Hobbyist and make no financial gains from it (flickr and 500px type)?
- Art pictures that I take as a non-professional photographer / Hobbyist and make some financial gains from it (sell in 500px market)?

"Filming" with a film crew, you will need several permits, plus various paper works from your end & it could end up costing you lots of money; but with photography, I don't see anything wrong with having someone holding your lights instead of using a light-stand, as long as your light source is wireless; and is powered by its own power supply ...For example the B1 Profotos or any speed flash thats being triggered by a transceiver (Pocket Wizards) from on top of your cameras hot shoe & try not staying to long on the same location, 15-20 mins the most ...remember (the key here, is not to have any equipment on the ground!)
