If you are looking for something highly specific, need to narrow down your options or are compiling an approximate budget and schedule we can offer a comprehensive location research service.

It can be useful to know all the likely alternative locations, their pro’s and con’s and comparative costs to make an informed decision before creating a shoot strategy. This service can be particularly useful to client’s putting an initial pitch and/or budget together.

An example of a job we did recently included finding swimming pools with an “outdoor feel” for 4 models to show off swim-wear … in November. In one day, we put together 3 location budgets: the least expensive for indoor (conservatory) pools the UK, one for an additional 50% in the South of Spain & Majorca and one for over twice the price for The Caribbean and Mexico. We posted 3 separate “private collections” from web shots and our library. The client chose medium priced Majorca option and was lucky with the weather.

There is no substitute for local knowledge. Over the years, we have grown one of the best networks of contacts in the business. We have in place a network of location companies and managers across the UK & Europe and many in the US, Africa, Central and S. America and the Far East. This enables us fast access to the best and most appropriate locations available by maintaining a reciprocal service.
