, I had several people ask me this week, “What to do? How can you do paid photo gigs in San Francisco under these circumstances? Where can you photograph, without fear?”. Built in 1910 for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition to resemble a lovely Roman ruin with a Greco-Roman rotunda and a beautiful lagoon.. For a killer view of the San Francisco skyline.. The big park that leads to the bridge.
“The photographer told us to tell everyone especially professional photographers to not take pics in San Francisco, especially in scenic locations as thugs are targeting photographers for their expensive equipment,”“Crime in and around tourist destinations has been on the rise; we see our fair amount of car smash and grabs,” the Palace theater’s managing director, Jason Hoover, told the.
But back to the big question: what does a photographer do if he or she gets hired to do wedding or portrait shoots in San Francisco?
I’ve been robbed of camera gear in SF. I have 3 different friends who have been robbed of their gear in SF. If you go, bring a bike lock and tether it though the handles of the cases and attach it to a secure point in your trunk.
My camera and I went everywhere in SF in Aug without a problem. I’ll happily go back.
A lot of this could be easily resolved by camera manufacturers adding simple security features via. Firmware updates. Phone thefts have gone down so much because without the passcodes, they're essentially bricks.
It’s too bad sfgov can’t do something about this. It’s sad that literally every photographer in the country knows now not to go there.
Tl:dr: “There aren’t any, use your iPhone” essentially. Sad state of affairs for a beautiful city.
