I have been thinking about doing more outdoor location pictures with the warmer months approaching. What type of legality is there in referance to doing a photo session at a public park or somewhere as public access. I understand about the whole authorization when on a owned property, then getting the owners consent. But for a public park, the lake, woods, etc......   With the photo sessions I plan on making the best of the time spent there. So I plan on having several assistants for lighting, reflectors, MUA, etc... I am choosing the locations for different settings. I understand about the risk of doing public nudity and only plan on doing that at owned property. But say for a car/motorcycle photo session with several models and several people there. Would I need a permit or things???

Good question. I've shot in a lot of public places with a crew in tow but have never obtained permits...however, I was shoo'd off one location in Tampa by security guards requesting to see a permit. I believe permit requirements vary between municipalities. A quick call to city hall should clear up all doubt.
