about us

1st option was established in 2001. Since that time we've built up a solid reputation for representing a high standard of shoot locations in London and the UK for stills photography, TV & filming. We also represent some of the best interior and fashion stylists and hair & makeup artists.

Combined with our high level of customer service, we'd like to feel that we're the 1st name industry creatives think of when it comes to sourcing their locations and artists.

Our essence strongly focuses on service and a genuine enthusiasm for our properties, many of which have been with us since the very beginning. Our website features comprehensive selections of full-screen, high-quality location and artist images and shows the full scope of what's available at each location as well as showcasing each artist's portfolios.

We are constantly updating our shoot location portfolio and we're always on the lookout for the next great shoot location. We're always available by phone, so if you have any questions or own a unique property that you think might work for shoots, please feel free to get in touch!
