Becoming a Shoot Location Host

Shoot location hosting is one of the most flexible and rewarding ways to make money from your home. Whether you’re looking to earn extra income, work around family life, or simply use your space in a new way, this course shows you exactly how to get started.

Inside, you’ll learn how the film and photography industry works, what makes a home bookable, and how to position your space so it stands out to clients. We guide you through preparing your home, creating a strong portfolio, and deciding whether to work with agencies or go direct.

You’ll also learn what to expect from shoot days, how to manage bookings, and how to confidently welcome crews into your home. This isn’t about having a “perfect” home – it’s about recognising what makes your space valuable and using it in a way the industry is actively looking for.

By the end of the course, you’ll feel clear, prepared, and ready to take your first steps towards turning your home into a reliable income stream.

You’ll also gain insight into how different types of shoots work, from small brand campaigns to larger production days, and how your home can adapt to suit a range of creative briefs. The course is designed to give you clarity and confidence, so you can move forward with a realistic and informed approach.
