Local Production Works
We provide full-service production support for photo shoots in Hungary and Austria for international clients who choose either of these countries as their shooting location. Our clients are primarily fashion brands, creative agencies, producers, and production companies. We work across a wide range of scales from luxury to premium high-street, budget, and sports brands, as well as magazines. We have worked for brands and titles such as Prada, Gucci, Dior, COS, Boden, Brax, Speedo, George, and GQ. Our services include budgeting, crew at any scale, equipment, end-to-end production logistics, locations, permits and any additional production needs required to deliver. We manage the local budget and our producers take full responsibility for it. Beyond production services, one of our key strengths is our in-house location division, tailored specifically to fashion and photo shoots and used exclusively for our own projects. This allows us to stay ahead of trends and consistently secure the most suitable locations in Hungary and Austria for almost any mood, aesthetic, or creative concept. In our productions, every detail matters, from the quality of the tablecloths to complex, last-minute, large-scale production challenges. We are highly detail-oriented and genuinely care about the production experience itself. We understand the often complex video-production needs that fashion shoots can involve. We’ve also worked with celebrity talent, so we know what these productions require, having delivered shoots featuring Ryan Gosling, Adrien Brody, Gigi Hadid, and Jisoo. We take an in-house approach to set operations and location management, as we believe this is the best way to provide the highest quality and the fastest, most flexible solutions for our clients. We’re very particular about providing the best service in fashion shoots. In photo production, we believe true service is defined not only by what is provided, but by the level of care, taste, and precision behind it. Our goal is to create a professional and comfortable environment for our clients and to bring the best possible outcome from the local resources.

accommodation
Over the years we have had the chance to host our clients in every notable four or five star hotel in Budapest. Our company has corporate agreements with most of them, so we can provide the best possible rates. When we suggest hotels, we consider three main aspects: great location in the city, flexibility (cancellation, early check-in, late check-out, etc.) and production friendly facilities.
