international locations for production Mar 2019

"Tired of constantly similar locations, then why not try Croatia for your next production? With 2600 hours of sunshine a year (Germany has 1600), the country is well connected to most European cities. With pleasant people, English-speaking crews and extremely safe, Croatia has a lot to offer.

For such a small country, Croatia is reknowned for its amazing variety of locations, a place where you can find everything from Gothic and Renaissance to Austro-Hungarian architecture, mountains and hills plunging into the sea, amazing new roads and modern houses.

In combination with Slovenia, Montenegro, Bosnia, Serbia and North Macedonia, there are plenty of options we can offer for any kind of shoot."

A glacier in Austria might not be as accessible as one in Italy, and the snow in France might be deeper than in Switzerland... or everything could be just the opposite.

For six months a year, clients can shoot their models while skiing on day one, and swim in the sea on day two. Shoot in The Alps has access to snow 365 days-a-year! The locations database incudes everything a client can think of: cities, forests, lakes, castles, beaches, icefalls, pastures, rural villages, high altitude - but accessible – icy peaks, and much more. The automotive industry will find amazing roads here, and fashion photographers will enjoy the mix between modern and historical architecture.

The team works with crews and suppliers from Milan, Geneva, Innsbruck, Munich, Zurich and Ljubljana, offering the best equipment and the highest level of professionalism.
