Beyond the Database: Our Custom Location Scouting Service Explained
Looking for a unique shoot or event location that fits your brief perfectly? Our custom location scouting service at thelocation.agency delivers off-market, production-ready spaces—curated to match your creative vision, timeline, and logistics. Fast, global, and tailored for brands, producers, and photographers.
Sometimes, finding the right location isn’t as simple as searching a database. Maybe you have a highly specific brief. Maybe you're working in a new city. Maybe the location that brings your concept to life doesn’t exist online—yet.
That’s why at thelocation.agency, we offer custom location scouting services that go beyond what you see on the platform. When you need something exactly right, our team gets to work—fast, creatively, and globally.
Here’s what our bespoke scouting service includes, how it works, and why clients across industries rely on us to find what others can’t.
1. When the Database Isn’t Enough
Our curated location database is a great place to start. But creative projects often come with:
- Ultra-specific visual requirements
- Unique logistical challenges
- Unusual environments or moods
- Confidential briefs or unreleased concepts
That’s when custom scouting makes all the difference. Whether you’re looking for a Brutalist rooftop in Berlin, a lavender field outside Lisbon, or a seaside villa in winter light—we go find it.
2. How Our Custom Scouting Works
We don’t just search—we scout with purpose. Here’s how our process unfolds:
- We receive your brief.
- You send us your concept, mood board, required specs, and must-haves.
- We tap into our international network.
- We work with trusted scouts and local agents across Europe and beyond to uncover off-market and hidden-gem spaces.
- We pre-filter options.
- No endless back-and-forth. We shortlist only those locations that match your vision, budget, and logistics.
- We deliver a custom scouting package.
- You’ll receive a curated listed og options with detailed images, notes, availability, and next steps.
Pro Tip: Need a site visit or walk-through video? We can arrange that too.
3. Why Clients Choose Custom Scouting
Custom scouting saves time, stress, and creative compromise. It’s ideal when:
- You're producing in a city you don’t know
- You have a tight deadline and need options fast
- You need something outside the box or off the beaten path
- You’re working on a high-end campaign or film and want the perfect match
Our team acts as an extension of your production crew. We understand aesthetics and logistics—and deliver both.
4. What It Costs
Our scouting service is billed as a flat day rate or project rate, depending on your scope and timeline. You only pay for the work we do—not per location.
Example:
Need 3–5 location options in Mallorca next week? We scout, filter, and deliver a ready-to-book shortlist—saving you hours or days.

5. Locations We've Scouted
To give you an idea, here are just a few of the places we've sourced on brief:
- A secluded glass house for a skincare brand campaign
- An old boxing gym for a music video
- A minimalist artist’s loft for a fashion editorial
- A lakeside villa for a private luxury event
These weren’t on our database—they were found, negotiated, and booked on demand.
Conclusion
If your project demands more than a generic space, don’t settle. Our custom location scouting connects you to the right place, at the right time, with the right energy.
