Commercial Photography and Videography Inquiries
All photography and videography inquiries will be directed to the Friends of the Paragon Carousel Manager at info@paragoncarousel.com, who will decide whether the photography/videography inquiry is commercial in nature. No commercial photography or videography may be taken without written permission from the Friends of the Paragon Carousel Manager.
Friends of the Paragon Carousel considers photography or videography “commercial” in nature when the images of Paragon Carousel grounds, gardens, events, activities, or exhibits are used as a visual background for another organization or to promote a product, firm, or organization.

Yearbook photo shoots
