Intro

What is on Location Photography?

Location photography is when you go to where the subject is instead of the subject coming to your studio. Usually it is a photography done at a particular venue or location (i.e. landscape, architectural photography, wedding, exterior, interior, residential, construction photography etc.), rather than in a studio

Shooting on-location at a private residence usually requires a property release. A nice location to make your product look good can range between $400 - $2000 for the day. Sometimes, a production will bring in a prop stylist to stage the location. Days to acquire and return the props are usually paid in addition to the shoot day.

If you're shooting on location, the photographer may require special equipment and a photo-assistant to help set everything up and speed up the shoot. Post-production and special retouching may be required in complicated lighting situation. Food for cast and crew is usually a required expense.

If your photos require an on location shoot we recommend looking for a traditional photographer. Below are some resources for traditional photography.
