At Shootfactory, our location agents work behind closed doors, ensuring everything runs smoothly. From the moment we open our doors, the phones start ringing, and emails flood in, keeping us on our toes.
We are a team of experienced agents specialising in photo shoots and filming locations. Our day starts with a mix of telephone calls and emails from clients and homeowners. Clients often email their briefs, detailing the type of location they need, the shoot’s timing, and whether filming is involved.
We contact our location house owners to check their availability, interest in the inquiry, and agreement with the suggested day rate. Additionally, we receive numerous calls from owners wishing to register their properties for shoots. While our website has a registration section, many owners prefer to discuss their homes and ask questions about the process directly.
Not all shoots and filming sessions go according to plan. Occasionally, teams may arrive late or finish later than expected. Sometimes, an owner might forget to leave tea and coffee for the crew. Though rare, any damage caused is covered by the production’s insurance, ensuring peace of mind for property owners. Each location has unique house rules and directions for clients at contract time to ensure smooth operations.
As a location company, we also handle all financial transactions. We ensure that all due payments are recovered, and if a shoot goes overtime, the homeowner can charge for the extra time.
At Shootfactory, we represent some of the UK’s best shoot locations, focusing strongly on London. Our portfolio includes a variety of residential properties, photographic studios, and industrial locations in and around London.
We feature unique locations outside London, such as stately homes, sprawling countryside estates, private railways, and private beaches. Our locations are ideal for photographic shoots, product launches, press events, fashion shows, music videos, and feature films.
Our website makes browsing for locations easy. You can select categories from the homepage or use the location search to find properties with specific features. We also offer a quick-reference central London map to help you find the perfect location by postcode.
Over the years, we’ve worked with some of the world’s most renowned brands. We cover everything from supermarkets and interior brands to cookbooks and leading fashion publications. Our team of location agents has years of experience sourcing and organising locations for the most complex briefs, and we thrive on the challenges each day brings.
A great location isn’t just about style. At Shootfactory, we carefully select locations for their suitability, considering our client’s needs and our industry knowledge, to ensure our portfolio includes only the best shoot locations in London and across the UK.
