It’s great to work in a photography studio with a controlled environment, extra lighting and space. However, sometimes a project requires a location, such as kitchens for food photography, living rooms for family portraits and even mansions for period pieces.

As a photographer, your location is just as important as the subject. It can reinforce a brand and make your work stand out amongst the crowd. Below we have listed some of the best location houses for photoshoots and their facilities across the UK.
