You missed my point, or I made it poorly. The infraction may have been on the part of the director by inviting you on campus to undertake an effectively "forbidden" activity by shooting a performance without the proper license or permit-- i.e. something in violation of school policy. I was on-staff at a University as a PR photographer. Commercial photography, or anything viewed as "professional" photography on-campus was prohibited without a permit (e.g. a wedding photographer using a campus building as a backdrop). The permit included the rules. When permitted, usually a representative of the university observed the shoot to insure proper protocol was followed. Even as staff I had to have a permit if I did a freelance job on-campus like ads for a car dealer or local clothing store (which I have done featuring "iconic" structures in the background). Ironically, there was a theater company on campus. While I had blanket permission to photograph essentially everywhere, the theater was the one place I needed to get agreement from the artistic director/theater manager as well as an assignment sheet from my boss before shooting PR shots for the university's use.yorgasor said:old-pr-pix said:All speculation and few facts... It's quite possible the school has very strict requirements regarding what they would consider professional photography on campus. Potentially the director actually violated their policy by inviting the OP...
I suspect those ideas are mostly irrelevant...
