Except that no photog would ever rely on the owner to find a location, the rest is spot on.

Well if they dont know the area and flew half way around the world they might not know lol

yeah when my car was being shot for a Japanese magazine I was trying to be as helpful as possible. and I had to buy my copies of the magazine 10$ each

Hang around here a while. You'll be surprised!

I do. It's winter here, I have a small window of opportunity. Tomorrow I'm leaving at 5.30am, driving three hours to a town I haven't been to before. I have three cars to shoot, and have to be back home that evening. I don't have time to drive around with the vehicles' owners looking for locations, so I emailed them a brief of the kind of place I'm looking for for each car (Same magazine, so locations have to be different). It's not an ideal situation but lack of time and no local knowledge leaves me with no alternative.

I've done it plenty of times. Driving 200 miles to a place I've never been? How practical is that for me to visit, scout for an entire day for places and drive back again... complete waste of time.

I just tell the owner what I want to shoot and they find it for me... usually takes a 20 min conversation.
