Birdman Inc Locations Scouting. San Francisco Northern California Locations for Still Photography and Video

A few years ago we worked with photographer Vincent Dixon and Porkchop Productions on a project for State Farm. Here are a few of the final images along with our scouting.

When we are not on assignment we like to work on expanding our location database. What better way to spend down time than a stroll through the park? Nearly every bay area city, town and village has a park for it’s residents to enjoy. Over the past several months we found everything from quaint slices of land set aside for historical preservation to vast expanses with sweeping views. We discovered some great lakes, paths, benches and meadows that offer wonderful backdrops. Permission to shoot in many of these parks is granted by city departments that are often happy to host photo shoots and are great to work with! Here are some of our favorite additions to our ever growing location library.

A job recently had us scouring neighborhood streets of Marin.  San Rafael and Larkspur in particular are fairly easy to permit and have an idyllic residential appeal.  Whether you’re looking for a sleek mid century modern or a quintessential middle America environment, Marin has it.  Beautiful rolling hills, manicured lawns and well kept streets and sidewalks make this area a great backdrop for any production.

This beautiful and formidable historic building is now available for shoots!  There is an abundance of texture and a variety of open space for you to either prop out or use ‘as-is’ for your next project.

We have been spending a lot of time in Sonoma lately.  In this industry, we are always searching for locations that offer ‘variety’.  From wineries, vineyards, hip retail spaces, inviting restaurants, rustic cabins, modern homes, spectacular vistas and intimate walking trails, Sonoma has it all.   We decided to give our respects to Sonoma County, by posting an assortment of our recent discoveries from the area.
