Ep 14 | Photographers Are Not Criminals | Dubai Photographers vs Security Guards

In this episode, we explore the challenges faced by creators—photographers, videographers, and all visual artists—when being approached by security authorities. Too often, we are treated with suspicion and hostility, despite our intentions being rooted in passion and creativity. We dive into why this happens and how it impacts our ability to create and share our work.

Just to clarify, we are not here to attack anyone. Our aim is to raise awareness, voice our frustrations, and, most importantly, offer solutions to help ease the restrictions faced by creators. As artists, we are not criminals—we are storytellers who contribute to showcasing the beauty of Dubai and promoting its vibrant tourism scene.

Join us as we shed light on these issues, challenge misconceptions, and advocate for a better understanding between photographers and security authorities.
