WHAT MAKES A GREAT LOCATION
We specialise in curating properties we believe have the right look and feel for the lifestyle photography industry recognising that the North has a lack of locations on offer. They need to work practically as shoot locations, be inspiring, flexible and create the right environment to bring the clients project to life. The key elements that we are looking for –
-
LOCATION
Property needs to be based in the North of England. It helps if you have a gorgeous garden, greenhouse and/or outbuildings.
-
LIGHT
Good natural light is really important through the property enabling the shoot team to work with natural daylight.
-
WALLS
It’s key that the property should be flexible with neutral paint colours on the majority of the walls. Multiple background options with both neutral and feature walls are helpful.
-
SPACE
There should be enough space for the photographer to pull back and for the shoot team to work comfortably, so the bigger the room the better! The location should have at least 3 good rooms for shooting, ideally a kitchen, dining space and a living space. Main bedrooms, bathrooms, hall ways and children’s rooms are great additions too.
-
DECOR
The interior design of the house must have an inspirational feel. The more neutral the paint colours on the wall, the more versatile the house will be, allowing people to stamp their mark on it. The more neutral the paint colours on the wall, the more versatile the house will be, allowing people to stamp their mark on it. A mix of neutral and feature walls is a bonus as these provide an array of background options.
-
FEATURES
Features should feel inspirational. We are looking for good windows; wooden or critical, good flooring in light colours: parquet, concrete, brick or floor boards, fireplaces: period or modern, high ceilings, textures on walls: panelling, plaster, raw brick, stone, or tongue and groove.
HOW TO REGISTER YOUR LOCATION
We’d love to see some photos if you have a property you’re considering registering as a location.
To begin the process, we’ll need images of all suitable rooms: living room, kitchen, dining room, hallway, main bedroom, main bathroom and an exterior shot of the house. They don’t need to be professional photos, but they do need to give us a good idea of the space and style of each room.
Please send your photos to us, we’ll review the images and let you know if we think the property will work.
