So in order to get your own pics, you need to be a participant, and its hard to conceal a camera while youre butt naked, there is very little time to hang around on the beach before and after you swim, once it is over, you move back up the hill and the next group is escorted down by the organisers. It is very well controlled so there is not much opportunity to get photos.

Thanks.
I do understand that, but I've seen a lot more pictures from the previous two years. I was wondering if they had introduced an actual
ban on participants taking their own cameras and photos.
Even if they had, in previous years I'm pretty sure that the "professional" shots made available were quite a bit bigger/better (and slightly more revealing too !).
