Studios and Art Galleries
A photo studio is ideal for a controlled and professional shoot. With a white backdrop, flexible lighting, and space for props, it's perfect for fashion campaigns, product branding or corporate images. Booking a dedicated shoot location gives you full creative control and professional-grade results.
Industrial Lofts and Urban Spaces
Lofts are in high demand for their raw aesthetic, high ceilings, large windows and visible textures. Think concrete walls, metal beams, vintage or designer furniture—everything is set up for bold, contemporary visuals. Ideal for fashion shoots, editorial portraits or creative lookbooks, these spots also offer plenty of space for equipment and styling setups.
Rooftops with Open Views
A rooftop promises incredible natural light, a wide open sky, and breathtaking city views. Whether you shoot at sunrise or sunset, these elevated settings add a modern, graphic edge to your photos. Many come with stylish furniture, decor or shaded areas to help you shift between moods and angles throughout your shoot.
Private Beaches and Hidden Coves
Beaches are perfect for boho, sunlit or organic visuals. Sand, water, sky, vegetation… the range of textures is endless. For summer shoots, lifestyle projects or outdoor fashion editorials, a private beach or natural cove offers a visually powerful and immersive location. Just be sure to plan for light and weather changes.
Architect Homes and Styled Interiors
Renting a home with a distinctive interior saves valuable setup time. Clean lines, retro vibes, Scandinavian touches or arty decor—these ready-to-shoot locations are perfect for catalogues, product shoots or expressive portrait sessions. Some homes include multiple rooms with different atmospheres to enrich your image series.
Gardens and Green Spaces
For nature-based, soft or peaceful photography, gardens are an ideal choice. Trees, flowers, greenhouses, benches, pergolas… the light filtered through foliage creates a warm, immersive feel. These spots work beautifully for outdoor portraits, poetic shoots or wellness-inspired lifestyle content.
Bars and Restaurants with Strong Ambience
Some bars and restaurants allow private shoots outside opening hours. This is a great opportunity to capture bold decor and immersive atmospheres without having to design the set from scratch. Perfect for food campaigns, fashion shoots or creative concepts in visually rich environments.
Boats, Docked or in Motion
Boats offer a unique setting with movement, natural reflections and panoramic water views. Whether docked or sailing, they bring elegance and originality to your images. Many feature multiple levels (deck, cabin, rooftop) to explore light and composition creatively.
Theatres and Artistic Stage Settings
Theatres are perfect for dramatic, timeless or scenographic shoots. Red curtains, stage lights, textured backstage walls and historic sets all contribute to an intense and evocative visual environment. Ideal for editorials, narrative portraits or storytelling-focused shoots.
Hidden Terraces and High Balconies
Often located in the heart of the city, terraces and balconies offer intimate, naturally lit settings. With views over the rooftops, minimal furniture or soft greenery, they give your shoot a spontaneous, urban vibe. Great for portraits, lifestyle content or product photos with an authentic touch.
What Type of Photoshoot Should You Plan?
Fashion Shoots and Lookbooks
A powerful location is key to showcasing a collection. Whether you're a designer, brand or photographer, selecting a place that fits your fashion universe helps create impactful and coherent visuals. Industrial, boho, elegant or raw—there's a match for every aesthetic.
Professional, Personal or Artistic Portraits
A strong portrait relies as much on its setting as its subject. Whether indoors or outdoors, your location should enhance the model without stealing the spotlight. A simple backdrop, soft lighting or symbolic scene can elevate your image with subtlety and emotion.
Brand Content and Social Media Campaigns
For creators, agencies or brands, variety is key. A colourful restaurant for food styling, a leafy terrace for beauty content, a graphic loft for lifestyle posts—every location becomes a storytelling tool to make your content stand out online.
Video Shoots and Mixed Media
Many locations are also adapted for video: reels, short films, interviews or ad campaigns. Light, sound and layout are essential factors—look for a spot that fits both your visual and technical needs.
How to Choose the Perfect Location for Your Shoot
Define Your Visual Style
Your shoot location should reflect your creative direction. Take time to clarify the mood: minimalist, colourful, raw, vintage, chic, natural… Having a defined vision helps narrow down the best-matching places and ensures visual consistency.
Plan for Technical Requirements
Think ahead: light orientation, outlets, access, team capacity, parking, background noise, weather (for outdoor shoots)… The more prepared you are, the smoother your shoot will run.
Check What’s Included
Some locations include furniture, props, backdrops, changing rooms or makeup stations. This can simplify your setup and reduce gear transport. Always ask your host for a full list of what's available on-site.
Key Factors for a Successful Photoshoot Location
Light and Lighting
Whether indoors or out, lighting is critical. A studio gives full control, while homes with large windows offer soft, flattering natural light. For outdoor shoots, plan around the time of day to avoid harsh shadows or blown-out highlights.
Layout and Space
Your shoot spot should have enough room for your team and gear (camera, tripods, props). Think about the overall layout—what needs to be in frame, what areas will remain out of shot, and how easily you can rearrange things.
Access and Logistics
Make sure your location is easy to access, especially with bulky equipment. Nearby parking or a loading zone can make a huge difference when moving lights, props or furniture in and out.
Budget and Legal Considerations
Set your budget based on your shoot goals. Some venues offer half-day or full-day rental for professional photo production. Make sure you confirm usage rights, image releases and any location-specific regulations ahead of time.
Tips for Planning the Perfect Photoshoot
Before the Shoot
Create a moodboard to align your visual inspirations.
Select outfits and props that match the scene and your brand identity.
Schedule all key steps: location booking, team planning, gear setup, styling and backups.
On the Day
Adjust lighting and try multiple angles for variety.
Double-check every detail—background, model styling, props, framing.
Keep communication clear between the photographer, talent and team for a smooth flow.
After the Shoot
Once the photos are taken, selection and retouching are essential for a professional result. These final visuals can be used for websites, social media, branding campaigns or editorial spreads.
Book in Advance—Especially in High Season
Top locations get booked quickly—especially on weekends and during warm seasons. As soon as you confirm your shoot date, lock in the venue, especially if natural light is a top priority.
