Fines for shooting without permission in Iceland

4 years 9 months ago #649892 by photography_assistant
Hello! 
I'm planning to do a fashion shoot at the end of July in Iceland and I would like to know how high would be the fines if I would shoot without permission? Maybe someone knows or could give advice on how to be in this situation? I'm not planning to go to the locations where would be a lot of tourists, or to most common locations. I would like to escape Iceland more and maybe to find some secret places so that is why I would like to prepare myself and get to know about the fees. 

I would appreciate any information\help\sharing of self-experience about Iceland!

Why would there be fines?  Are you planning on photographing something that would normally be considered wrong?  If that being the case, perhaps get permission ahead of time.  When I travel, I always want to respect the country where I'm at.  Besides, do you really want to chance dealing with another countries legal system?  Iceland isn't as bad as North Korea, but still.  When in question, just get permission ahead of time so you don't get fined.   :)

Agree, when traveling to another country, always be mindful of their laws.

OMG

I would ask locals or officials when in doubt.  I agree, that Iceland will be much more friendly than other places.  But still you need to be careful.
