Location America

Los Angeles - Location Scouts

Geoff Juckes is the founder of LocationAmerica, a company providing location scouting, consulting and aerial photography for feature films, commercial advertising and fashion.

Geoff has extensive knowledge and location files covering the entire Western United States, particularly focusing on roads and remote areas. He has scouted locations in the USA, Brazil, the British Virgin Islands, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, the French Polynesian Islands, Jamaica and Mexico.

Geoff brings a triad of disciplines to his work as a location scout, possessing a naturalist’s respect for remote, pure landscapes, an artist’s eye in collapsing the world into an illuminating visual frame, and a scientist’s intuitive skill in knowing the exact time to shoot for surface, mass, silhouette or meandering line.

His clients include major production companies and advertising agencies in the United States and Europe as well as brands such as Citroën, Chevrolet, Mercedes, Independent Media. BMW, Buick, Nike, Nikon, Hertz, Honda, Gucci, Cavalli, Elle, Saab, 7Jeans and Loewe.
