Your story ideas, articles and photography belong on these
pages and on our website.
Articles focus on aspects of location management and
scouting.
Photographs for the "Martini Shot" are exemplary location
shots, with an evocative, artistic component that take
it up a notch … a hero shot in a VERTICAL orientation.
