Say Cheese!
What makes the ultimate London locations for photoshoots?
We’re glad you asked, because creating the perfect photo shoot location is actually a little bit trickier than you might expect. However, if we were to pinpoint the key features of some of our most popular houses for photoshoots, they would certainly boast plenty of natural lighting, spacious rooms with high ceilings, large kitchens, plenty of space for crews to easily set up shots, helpful owners who are great to work with and be easily accessible for public transport and parking. Phew, not much then?
Aside form these things, versatility can often play a part too, with photshoot houses that have a variety of differing styles throughout their various rooms allowing clients to get different style settings for their shots, although photoshoot houses that showcase a distinct theme and do it very well can also be very popular too.
Of course, the best photoshoot locations in London are in the eye of the beholder. By beholder, we’re referring to our lovely clients, who may have specific requirements for their photo shoot location, depending on their creative brief.
