Changing swimsuits on such a beach brings very little, if any comment. The same goes for nude beaches, which can be found in many coastal areas of the country. Another good location for nude and glamour photography is on Federally owned land, since except for certain restricted locations, there are no laws against simple nudity. A major consideration on a top-free or nude beach is to be sure to keep your cameras pointed away from sunbathers who are not part of your entourage. While a woman might feel completely comfortable lying or walking along the beach in four square inches of cloth, they take a totally different attitude when they think you are recording it forever on film without their permission.
Many cities require that a photographer obtain permits before shooting in their jurisdictions.
They also require the photographer to apply for a permit at least a week before each shooting date. Check into local laws before you expend a lot of time and energy preparing for location shoot, only to have a policeman stop you on your first roll of film and send you home. With several models and a large collection of cameras stacked around you, it's hard to convince them that you're just shooting vacation pictures of the family. Start with your primary camera. On location, I typically use a Nikon 35mm with a motor drive and a zoom lens.
