What is Location Scouting?
Location scouting allows you sort out shooting spots in advance. It lets you plan ahead and account for things that would otherwise be impossible to foresee had you just stumbled across it while out shooting.
Location Finder
Whether you are a hobbyist ph0tographer looking for a cool local spot to shoot or a Pro Photographer coordinating a couple shoot with a client, finding the right location can be hard. Using a Location Finder like ours at TakePicsHere® allows photographers to find great locations and easily share location details with clients. Each location listing is packed with useful information that will make pre-planning and scouting a breeze.
Logistics
Nearby facilities, such as bathrooms where your subject may be able to go and get changed, parking availability, whether or not power is available, can all be major factors for location photographers.
Permit/Legal
Do not underestimate the power—and legal requirement—of a permit. Photographers are notorious for believing they can do whatever they want whenever they want. Permits are a necessary part of every shoot we do. The benefit in using our location finder is that you can get contact information for most locations where you can call ahead to find out if a permit is required. Most locations will simply grant permission to shoot as long as it is not for commercial purposes. For commercial or Professional shoots, be sure to grab a permit to avoid any embarrassing incidents, especially in front of paying clients.
