Location & Shoot Ideas Map

Location & Shoot Ideas Map 🗺️

Have you ever driven past the perfect shooting location, snapped a quick photo on your phone, and then completely forgotten where it was? 😫 Or had a brilliant shoot concept in the shower, only to lose the idea by the time you sit down to plan?

Your best creative ideas are scattered across random notes, your camera roll, and your memory. It's time to put them all in one place.

Introducing the Location & Shoot Ideas Map! This is your ultimate creative pipeline, a Notion system designed to capture, organize, and connect your inspiration with your execution.

This template is built on three interconnected databases:

1. Photography Locations 📍: This is your personal, visual scouting database. Save addresses, upload reference photos, tag locations by type (e.g., Urban 🏙️, Nature 🌲, Studio 💡), and track their status (e.g., Scouted, Used, Needs Permit). You can even view all your spots on a live map!
2. Shoot Concepts 📷: This is your creative idea bank. Your digital moodboard for every "what if...?" idea. Flesh out your themes, attach inspiration photos, describe the mood, and outline the story you want to tell.
3. Photoshoot Notes 📖: This is your command center for action. When you're ready to schedule a shoot, this is where you plan the "who, when, and how." Create your shot lists, plan your gear, set call times, and log every detail for the day.

Why this template is so powerful:

The real magic is how these three databases work together. 🔗 This isn't just three separate lists; it's a complete workflow:

• Find a great Location? You can link it directly to all the Shoot Concepts that would be perfect for it.
• Have a new Concept? You can browse your database of Locations and attach the ones that fit the vibe.
• Ready to make it happen? Create a Photoshoot Note and link both the concept and the location to it. Instantly, your entire plan—from creative brief to call sheet—is in one place.

This template helps you:

• ✨ Stop losing brilliant ideas and one-of-a-kind locations.
• 🗺️ Build a personal, visual map of your best-scouted spots.
• 💡 Connect your creative concepts directly to real-world places.
• 🚀 Go from a vague idea to a fully planned shoot in one seamless system.
• 🧠 Create a searchable "second brain" for all your creative projects.

Stop scrambling for inspiration. Start building your creative pipeline.
