Film Location Manager & Location Scout

London · UK · Worldwide

London-based Film Location Manager and Location Scout with almost 30 years of experience delivering complex productions across London, the UK and internationally.

From complex city-centre shoots to remote locations, I’ve managed location departments across feature films, high-end television, TV commercials, still photography and events — balancing creative ambition with access, logistics, budget and crew movement.

Working with major studios, production companies, brands, creative agencies and photographers, I provide location management, scouting, drone location scouting and VFX plate coordination from early development through to production.

ABOUT STEVE

I take a practical, collaborative and production-focused approach to finding and delivering locations.

Working closely with producers, directors, production designers, agencies and photographers, I translate creative briefs into workable locations and clear solutions on the ground.

Based in Central London, I work throughout the UK, Europe and internationally.

LOCATION SCOUTING IN LONDON & BEYOND

As a London-based Location Scout and Supervising Location Manager with 30 years’ experience, I provide professional location scouting services for feature films, high-end television, TV commercials, still photography and events.

My location scouting work takes me across London, throughout the UK and internationally, finding everything from historic buildings, residential properties and city streets to industrial spaces, contemporary architecture and unusual or hard-to-access locations.

Finding the right location is only part of the process. I also assess access, filming permissions, unit bases, crew logistics and the practical requirements of production, ensuring locations work both creatively and operationally.

From early-stage location research and feasibility studies to full production scouting, I work closely with producers, directors, production designers, photographers and creative agencies.
