How to Be a Photography Location Scout

Video Transcript

"My name is Anthony Maddaloni and I'm going to talk about how to become a location scout in photography. One thing photographers, film makers, art directors need, are locations to photograph in. And as a photographer, I always, I'm looking for a very interesting, eclectic locations to do my photography in. And I find that over the years that I had developed quite a few locations that I knew about. And that I would use or I'd give tips to other photographers, film makers. And I saw that, this was actually a scale. This is something that people get paid to do. So in your area or even just around the country. You can find certain locations that could be very beneficial for a specific photographer, film maker. Anybody using imagery like that. And this could be anything from just a very interesting store front to you know, even a used car lot. Something like a nice old fashioned looking grocery store. These are locations that people might have specific scenes for in movies, still photography. Any kind of commercial photography that you can use to your advantage. And once you compile a list, you potentially could get even hired to do this. On a pretty good basis. That's how I'd become a location scout."
