Locations that match the board — and hold up when the client and crew arrive.
Brand and commercial work needs locations that match the creative and survive the schedule. Scout both before committing.
The production problem
Where brand shoots go sideways
The brief describes a look; Scout weighs real locations against it — materials, mood, light — so candidates arrive ranked by genuine fit.
Best-light windows, quiet hours, and weather dependence per location, so the shot list is planned around reality instead of hope.
Compare candidates side by side and keep the approved/held/rejected trail — the shortlist stays explainable to the client.
