Narrative:
X requested ZZZ1 ground for beacon code for photo shoot of the mall inside class C ZZZ airspace under enhanced class B airspace. Was given code and told that a new NOTAM prevented circling the mall. (I was on the identical flight twice one week before and was allowed to circle by ZZZ tower control.) I was told by ZZZ1 ground that I could fly by the mall, go a distance beyond and fly back by the mall for the photo. No circling back by the mall for the photo. No circling would be allowed. I complied with the instructions. However, ZZZ tower was concerned that I turned close to the mall and didn't fly far enough beyond. Upon landing back at ZZZ1 I was requested to call ZZZ tower. They informed me that details of the NOTAM and could not circle as I should check with the FSS for they did say that I could 'fly by' and if I went about 3 miles past could turn back and fly by again. I suggest that they might be more specific in the future when I am given flight instruction.
