Regional selection of production-capable photo locations for photographers, creators, agencies and production teams.
The preview shows matches within 150 km around Bayern; it prioritizes bookable indoor and outdoor locations with clear production data.
We could not find any locations for your search.
Find bookable photo and shooting locations for your next project: browse the selection by look, light and location, compare settings from the photos, save favourites to your shortlist, ask the host and book directly. Instead of generic Instagram spots, we show production-ready spaces with photos, areas and floor plans, from bright daylight rooms for fashion and portrait to raw industrial spaces for editorial and neutral setups for product photography.
Clarify early whether you can shoot commercially at the space. Advertising, campaigns and brand shoots often need explicit permission or a buyout, so ask before you book and get written confirmation of how the images may be used.
Look at the photos to see how the room behaves in daylight and artificial light. Big windows, window orientation, ceiling height and the look of the walls decide whether your visual style works there, and whether you need to bring extra light.
Plan arrival, parking and the route for your gear. An easy-to-reach space with short loading paths, a lift or ground-level delivery saves your team a lot of time and stress on the shoot day.
Check for power and free circuits, a toilet, somewhere to change and room for make-up or styling. Those small details make a longer shoot far more comfortable and keep the set clear.
Locations are booked by the day: compare the host's day rate and check what it covers from the description and areas, such as how many people may be on set and which spaces and equipment are included. That way you know upfront whether the space fits your budget.
Ask about rules on noise, flash, haze, animals, food and usage rights. Clear agreements upfront avoid friction with neighbours or the host on the day and protect your later sign-off.
A strong photo location is more than a pretty room: it brings its own character to carry your subject and enough room for several framings. Watch the balance of light, floor area and look, because a space with big windows, a clear window orientation and a few usable corners gives you several setups in a single day without changing location. That's exactly what sets a real location apart from a bare studio: it brings atmosphere with it, instead of having to build it from scratch.
Indoor versus outdoor is the second big decision. Interiors give you control over light, weather and noise and suit fashion, portrait, beauty and product, so here clarify daylight, blackout and power circuits above all. Outdoor and industrial spaces such as courtyards, rooftops, halls or natural backdrops deliver scale and texture, but depend heavily on weather and time of day. For outdoor subjects, always plan a bad-weather backup, a second lighting option and realistic windows for the best light.
Before booking, it pays to clarify a few things concretely: is commercial use allowed and how far does the buyout reach? How many people may be on set, and is there power, a toilet, make-up space and parking? In which window is the space available on the shoot day, and how do the house rules handle set-up and strike? Asking these questions upfront, ideally in writing, avoids nasty surprises on the shoot day and lets you plan your schedule realistically and calmly.
Photo locations are booked by the day. What a shoot day costs depends mainly on the city and location, the floor area and the look of the rooms. The day rates below are rough guides for bookable locations in Germany, tiered by size:
Indicative ranges from typical marketplace listings. The actual day rate is set by each host, and photos, areas, amenities and house rules are shown on each listing.
For portrait, fashion editorial and social content it's about the look: a characterful room with soft daylight and several framings, so a single day yields multiple setups. Check light and window orientation upfront, whether you may bring your own gear, and how large the crew can be.
For advertising and campaigns, clear usage rights and buyout, reliable booking and enough room for clients, catering and styling decide the day. Get the commercial clearance confirmed in writing and plan a generous shoot day so approvals and sign-off run smoothly on set.
For still life, tabletop, e-commerce and music videos it comes down to neutral surfaces or the right setting, controllable light and predictable logistics. Look for table surfaces, clear walls, power for continuous light and enough room to rebuild sets between shots.
Compare bookable photo locations visually by look, light and access, or list your own space as a photo and film location and reach productions searching for exactly your setting.
