Professional photographing, filming, and drone flights.
If you are a professional taking pictures, filming, or flying a drone, other rules apply.
Since professional photography often need technical equipment, such as studio lighting, you need to contact us in good time before your visit.
The basic rule is that all model photography and filming etc should take place when other visitors are not in the area. We also reserve the right to bill you in case a fire security guard need to accompany you. In some cases there is also a fee for being allowed to use the area or building.
We ask you to contact us in the early planning stages, so we can do our best to help you. 0046 510 48 46 60 or info@lackoslott.se.
