Animals are always a big attraction for amateur and professional photographers.
We do ask that you have permission to sell pictures taken at zoo's and other wildlife sanctuaries. With the help of the community, we can help everyone by getting the right information.
If anyone would like to contribute to the list, please send and email to: customercare@photo4me.com with the name of the zoo, location (post code) as well as proof of the ability to sell your image for commercial gain. A short list of animals could also be helpful.
Keep in mind the following when taking pictures of wild animals in zoo's or animal sanctuaries.
- No fences, cages or anything that would hint that they are in a closed/confined space.
- Please take into account the nature of the picture and avoid flash photography if possible at zoo's and sanctuaries that allow it.
