Universal Beijing Resort is banning and denying the access of unauthorized professional photographers who offer tourists at the resort photo-shoot service.
Recently, several freelance photographers who offer services to tourists inside Beijing Universal park posted on Xiaohongshu, an Instagram-like app, that the park is removing the private photo-shoot service offered by professional photographers inside park.
“Starting from April 2, Universal park is taking action to prevent photographers from offering photo-shoot services inside the park, especially in the area of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. And the specific action to prevent photo-shoot services is still unknown,” a photographer nicknamed She Ying Shi Xiao Yue posted on Xiaohongshu.
Many expressed their support over the park’s decision. “It is an amusement park, not a photo-shoot studio,” commented a Xiaohongshu user nicknamed Mu Zi De Li.
Some shared their visiting experience in the park saying that it seemed some visitors and their photographers were growing roots in some scenic spots inside the park, which affected their visiting experience and caused chaos, especially during peak hours.
“To be honest, it was very disturbing to see visitors posing in front of their photographers in the park, especially in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, whose passage is rather narrow and their posing activities just blocked other visitors,” a netizen Xiao Tai commented.
Some were against such ban, claiming that photo-shoot services were convenient to some tourists, especially when they were not good at taking photos.
“It was convenient to hire a photographer inside the park,” said a netizen Yi Zhi Chong Tian Tu Zi.
“I usually started at 10 am and worked for 6 or 7 hours at most a day. The price varies and the standard package is 200 yuan ($29) per hour, which is about over 30,000 yuan a month,” a freelance photographer told the China News Service, adding that reservations for the next week were full. Photographers like him usually have bought the park’s annual pass to enter the park everyday.
However, the ban caught freelance photographers like him unprepared. Several photographers posted online that they were barred from taking photos as they were familiar faces to workers of the park.
The ban was for the copyright and, most importantly, to protect the interests of visitors, especially with the peak season soon arriving and many visitors having already complained online about the photo-shoot services disturbing regular visiting and the photography of regular visitors, a worker from the park told Beijing Youth Daily.
When asked why freelance photo-shoot services were banned, a customer service representative with Universal Beijing Resort told the China News Service that photo-shoot services offered by freelancers have always been forbidden inside the park.
According to the park rules: photography, videotaping, audio recording or live streaming of any kind are strictly prohibited, except for personal and non-commercial purposes.
Visitors can take photos either with their cameras or phones, the customer service representative added.
As for the photography needs of some visitors, the park offers authorized photography services that cost 388 yuan, which takes photos for customers in various hot spots throughout the park.
However, when asked how to distinguish a freelance photographer from a tourist, the customer service representative was not clear about the criteria.

Frank Horvat’s photo, Paris for STERN Shoes and Eiffel Tower, 1974
©FrankHorvatFrank Horvat was one of the world’s greatest fashion photographers. He helped elevate the medium into high art, and with his thoughtful photographs, changed how we look at fashion altogether.
Now, his latest masterpieces are on view in a solo exhibition at the Leica Galerie Wetzlar, opening on February 3, and running until April 30 in Wetzlar, Germany. The exhibition is called Please Don’t Smile, something he would tell his subjects before snapping their portraits.
The exhibition highlights the fashion photography from the photographer who had a 70 year career. He showed the world how fashion photography was more than just a way to sell purses, noting that: “Without stories to tell, fashion would never have really interested me,” he famously said during an interview.
Horvat is known for his fashion photographs, which were published in Vogue, Elle and Harper’s Bazaar. Based in Paris, he captured the city in all its romantic glory, from foggy night scenes to unconventional shots of the Eiffel Tower.
And yes, he did own a Leica camera, and was introduced to the brand by his friend and fellow photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson (who now has his own namesake museum in Paris).
Horvat was born in Croatia, lived in Italy, and moved to Paris in 1955. He started working as a fashion photographer in 1957, doing photo shoots for fashion magazines in Paris, London and New York, until 1962. He worked in black-and-white film, and some of his best photos were captured during this time, like his shots of Coco Chanel, Jean Cocteau and Yves Saint Laurent.
After working as a commercial photographer, he then started working on photo books, like New York Up And Down, a tribute to the city’s street life, and Please Don’t Smile, which was published in 2015.
He not only told models to refrain from smiling, but also told them to be themselves. “Later, when there was this natural type, the girl next door, I didn’t like it anymore, because it had also become a stereotype,” he said in an interview in 2015. “I have fun showing something that only I see. Showing something that the model wants to show doesn’t interest me.”

To start off the new year the Land of Waterfalls Camera Club will present a program featuring “The Fundamentals of Astrophotography” at its monthly meeting Thursday, Jan. 19. Starting promptly at 7 p.m., “live” via Zoom, the evening will conclude with the popular Shoot & Show activity.
For thousands of years people on earth have gazed into the night sky with awe and with questions. They have tried to capture and record what they could see with the naked eye. The German 3,600-year-old Nebra Sky Disk shows the first known depiction of the cosmos on a disk.
Opportunities to see the cosmic phenomenon increased drastically with the invention of the telescope early in the 1600s. Galileo saw the potential for the telescope and improved it drastically. He was then able to make many observations which he recorded in text and sketches.
Appropriately, it was an astronomer who coined the term photography in 1839, when Johann Heinrich von Madler combined “photo” (from the Greek word for “light”) and “graphy” (“to write). In that same year the French photography pioneer Daguerre himself is believed to be the first person to take a photograph of the moon, using his daguerreotype process. A year later John William Draper, an American doctor and chemist, took his own daguerreotype of the moon. By that time both astronomers and photographers realized that they could capture and document images that had eluded star gazers for centuries.
In 1850 Draper collaborated with astronomer William Bond to produce a daguerreotype of the star Vega. Henry Draper’s 1880 photograph of the Orion Nebula was the first ever taken.
Then physicists Jean Bernard Leon Foucault and Armand Fizeau improved the process sufficiently to photograph the Sun in sufficient detail that sunspots could be seen for the first time.
Over a century both telescopes and cameras continued to improve the science of documenting the heavens. Professional applications got bigger, better and more expensive. The science belonged to those with giant observatories and special cameras. But the amateur photographers and astronomers really got their first break with the more recent introduction of digital photography. The digital camera gear and the software processing created limitless possibilities for the amateur Astro Photographer.
Night photography isn’t the easiest genre to master. There are so many things to consider. On top of your usual composition and exposure, you have to deal with noise, shadow detail, preserving highlights and camera gear considerations for night lovers.
Being out alone in the dark isn’t for the faint-hearted, but astrophotographers have learned to handle any fear of the dark when conditions are favorable. Some night images take a lot of planning: full moon and milky way images with specific foreground, for example. Interestingly, there are very few photographers who specialize solely in astro photography. The majority are versatile and shoot various types of landscape images.
Astro Photographer James S. Mack’s presentation of “The Fundamentals of Astro Photography” will be geared to enlighten and entertain photographers of all levels of proficiency (beginner to experienced pro). With a lifetime interest in the sciences and nature, 34 years as a graphic artist, 50 years of photographic experience (which includes over 25 years of astro photography with digital equipment), he will pass on tips and other valuable information about what common equipment to use and how to use it.
Mack has six telescopes and is a member of the SCSG – Suncoast Stargazers, LGDSO – Local Group of Deepsky Observers and WAS – West Jersey Astronomical Society.
Following the astro photography program the fast paced “Shoot and Show” activity will showcase the latest photographic achievements of local members. It will be a good example of what local photographers can accomplish.
These open-to-the-public monthly meetings will be “live” on-line with Zoom until the health crisis subsides. Club members and guests are encouraged to sign in at least 10 minutes early (6:50 p.m.). Non-member guests are encouraged to go to info@lowccnc.com for invitation and access information at least a day prior to the meeting.
The Land of Waterfalls Camera Club welcomes participation from those interested in becoming a photographer, to novices who need fundamental skills, to photographers who enjoy sharing with others, as well as experienced pros. No special equipment or software is necessary.
To offer more focused forums for small group participatory learning and sharing the club features two Special Interest Groups (SIGs). The Capture SIG concentrates on how to take the best picture and meets from 7 p.m. – 9 p.m. on the third Monday of the month in the community room of the United Community Bank in Straus Park or by Zoom. Please consult the website for the latest schedules. The Post Processing SIG features the developing/control of the digital image into the final photograph and continues to meet via Zoom at 7 p.m. on the first Monday of the month.
