Have you ever wondered about the locations where high-end fashion, furniture, and everyday household products are captured for print and digital marketing? Have you ever wondered where companies film their TV ads and TV programmes (Line of Duty / Happy Valley / Luther). When we think of photoshoots and film settings, our minds gravitate towards breath taking outdoor environments like waterfalls, mountains, and sprawling cityscapes. However, have you considered the intriguing location homes where these items are showcased?
Every company wants to showcase its products or services in the most optimal and genuine manner, making the search for the ideal location crucial. Businesses often look to hire a location house, which will provide a dedicated space for photography or filming. Most of the time, the location can be tailored to align with the brand’s aesthetic or carefully selected due to its compatibility with the design requirements.
What makes a good photoshoot location?
In this article, we will present our top recommendations on what makes an excellent location house for photoshoots and filming. Additionally, we will give you tips on preparing your own home to be photoshoot ready!
Lighting!
One of the most overlooked, yet important aspects is the presence of ample natural light. Light serves as a photographer’s ultimate tool, as photographs cannot be captured without it. Therefore, if your property has an abundance of natural light, you are off to an excellent start.
Décor
Light, white, and bright spaces prove to be exceptionally effective for photoshoots. They serve as an ideal backdrop for fashion brands, allowing their garments to take centre stage while light dances within these areas. Nonetheless, it’s worth noting that depending on the specific requirements of a project, a moody and dimly lit space or decor can also lead to remarkable results.
More recently we have seen a resurgence of maximalism. Maximalism embraces the philosophy of “more is more” when it comes to design and aesthetics. It revels in an abundance of colours, patterns, textures, and decorative elements, creating visually rich and eclectic spaces. With its bold and extravagant approach, maximalism challenges minimalism’s simplicity and instead celebrates the idea of abundance and personal expression.
Access and space
Having ample space is a significant advantage for a photoshoot location. It allows the crew to accommodate equipment, props, models, and the styling team comfortably. With shoots often involving eight or more people, a spacious environment becomes essential. Furthermore, the availability of adequate parking spaces is a huge plus.
Unique features
Lots of our location homes possess captivatingly unique features that greatly appeal to creatives. These may include a striking staircase, a captivating feature fireplace, or a converted warehouse space. Distinct elements add an extra layer of charm to a location, making it particularly attractive for photoshoots and film productions.
Keep it clean
It is crucial to present the homes we rent for photoshoots, filming, and events in an immaculate state, free from any family clutter. In return, the client ensures that your home will be returned to you in the same clean and tidy condition. If you have pets, it is advisable to conduct a quick inspection outside before the crew’s arrival to ensure cleanliness. This state of readiness is known as having your home “photoshoot ready”.
Prior to any booking, we always verify that your home matches the images displayed on our website. We provide a link to your webpage for you to confirm that everything remains the same. It is essential to inform us of any changes, no matter how minor, to ensure that a client’s photoshoot expectations are met.
