Locationow
Canary Islands - Spain
"We are a professional photo and film location service company based in the Canary Islands. We provide a unique locations marketplace and full location services.
Locationow has worked on several photo and film shoots in the Canary Islands and Madrid this year:
For the TV series 'Camilo Superstar', in collaboration with production company Buendía Estudios and Atresplayer, Locationow was part of the team taking care of location services for this project, that tells the story of one of the most popular singers of the 70s in Spain, Camilo Sesto. Locationow found an incredible location in the north of Tenerife Island, that represents the legendary home of Camilo Sesto in Madrid, full of super large windows from which you can see the garden. We also found another location in the Canary Islands, the singer's summer home in Mallorca, an impressive space with a pool, views of the beach and a classic 70s style.
Locationow also worked on a project with the jewelry brand Vidda Jewelry. The location is a singular villa with an avant-garde and modern line that fits perfectly with the elegance and sophistication of the collection.
As usual, the goal is to add value both in the photo and the moving image world through excellence in location services.
Tell your story with the best location and film with Locationow.”

Julie Renouf
Europe - Australasia
"I’m an international award-winning photographer and director specialising in interiors, food and lifestyle, and brands focused to the female consumer. With 20+ years experience in Australia and now based in Europe, my work spans a wide range of advertising campaigns, editorial, branded motion content, food films and TVC. My aesthetic incorporates beautiful light, is emotive, unashamedly feminine, and weaves a visual story.
In my career there are many defining moments. The most prominent: an inspired Christmas gift, a Hanimex Box Brownie at the age of seven; a gifted art teacher in high school who taught me to experiment and explore beyond what the textbooks taught, and that ‘mistakes’ can take you to somewhere way beyond imagining; a tertiary education in photography that taught me the rules and then insisted I break them; a myriad of film and photo shoots where I learned to trust my intuition whilst being supported by my training. These projects now are the backbone of my creative and professional experience.
On set I work closely with clients: I believe collaboration, a positive attitude, and a shared enthusiasm for evocative visuals are the most effective way to create beautiful, authentic stories worth sharing with the world.”
