Can you photograph people in Morocco?
The short answer
Ask first. Point at your camera, raise your eyebrows — most people will nod or wave no. Performers in the squares expect 10–20 MAD. Architecture, food, stalls are fine. Faces are where it matters.
In Darija, *nqder nsewwrek?* works. Most people say yes. Some say no.
Women and children should generally not be photographed without explicit consent. In conservative neighbourhoods, photographing a woman without consent causes genuine offence.
Snake charmers, musicians, water sellers — they perform for the camera and expect payment. 10–20 MAD. The photograph is the product.
Shopkeepers and artisans are often happy to be photographed, especially if you've shown genuine interest or bought something.
