What Makes Scouter the Go-To for Creatives

Curated for Filmmakers & Photographers

We know the photo and film industry needs those ultra-specific, hard-to-find locations you won’t get on just any search engine—that’s why we’ve curated spaces with insider expertise, just for you.

Transparent Pricing, No Hidden Fees

What you see is what you pay, so you can focus on creating, not on hidden cleaning fees.

Free to Search, Free to List

Gatekeeping is so last year. We believe in sharing and creating magic together, so we’ve removed any membership or listing fees to make that a reality.

I found all my locations at a really affordable price

“I used Scouter while shooting a short film that required a pretty wide variety of locations. I was able to search their website very specifically for the things I needed, and wound up finding all of my locations at a really affordable price for the project’s small budget. It was super handy to be able to use Scouter’s platform to manage the whole process, from finding locations, to paying and communicating with the location owners. I will definitely use them as a first resort for future projects.”
