Locations play a crucial role in defining the tone and visual identity of a project. Whether a shoot needs a refined studio, a considered interior, strong natural light or an outdoor space with atmosphere, the location shapes both the creative possibilities and the practical flow of the day. At TIAGI, we approach location work as both a creative and logistical discipline.
Some teams come with a clear location in mind. Others ask us to guide the selection, present options or offer creative input on how different environments might support the brief. We work confidently in both modes.
What TIAGI Offers
Our location and permitting support includes:
- Location research and tailored presentations
- Studio sourcing for stills, beauty and motion

- Negotiation of fees, restrictions and access
- Full permit management for all required authorities

- Technical planning for load in, lighting and equipment
- On set coordination with location owners
We ensure that the space chosen is not only beautiful but workable for the demands of the production.
Understanding Creative and Practical Needs
Every location decision begins with understanding what the creative team wants to express. We look at:
- The visual mood and palette
- Requirements for light and movement
- Space for crew, glam and equipment
- Privacy or sensitivity considerations
- Sound and environmental factors
- Any narrative or brand connection to space
Once the creative direction is clear, we match it with locations that complement that tone and support the practical needs of the shoot.
A Global Network of Locations and Studios
TIAGI work across multiple production markets and has long standing relationships with location partners, studios and private owners. This allows us to source:
- Minimal and contemporary interiors
- Classic architectural properties
- Outdoor and natural landscapes

- Spaces suited to large crew or talent driven work
These connections mean we can often access unique spaces not widely available through public directories.

- Local authority applications
