Photo locations in Surrey

[gtrz86]

I've been looking for a car photo location for months now but haven't come across any good ones.

The best I got was on a B road in Hampshire, and another on the layby on the hog's back near Guildford.

Does anyone know of any rural or even industrial locations good for a car photo shoot? With the weather being nice now I wanna go out for golden hour and also some night time industrial photos.

Thanks

Lots in and around Farnborough airport... O'Gorman Avenue, Pond Road.

I know that's technically Hampshire, but it's only just over the border

Denbies Wine Estate, just outside Dorking.

For rural shots, anywhere on the Surrey Hills between Blackheath and Coldharbour.

For industrial shots you'll need a little more imagination. Maybe head to Brooklands for a more modern scene or for a grittier look, possibly Woking town centre or search out empty buildings, pubs and warehouses.

Anybody wanna join? We can do it next weekend Saturday or Sunday, or during the week if it works for people

Probably not exactly what you're after, but I always thought this place looked interesting for a photo

There is a big old airport building there which is a bit of a go to photo location, as was in front of the old airship hanger.

Elstead Mill has a nice cobbled road in a nice setting.

Just the place I was going to recommend!

Not far from Goodwood.... always looked quite appealing for a certain type of shot.

Fairoaks in Chobham has a piece of showgrass and a bank, where the pic of my car in my profile was taken.

Some great shouts here, looking forward to the weather getting a bit better to try them out.
I found a good location in Pirbright bends for a scenic background:

Or at the entrance to Brookwood Cemetery:

Also if you haven't driven it yet - you MUST try this route. Happy to arrange a drive out if anyone is keen (when we're allowed)

That sounds like a good idea. A spring drive through the Surrey/Hampshire area when we're allowed would be fun, we can take some shots of our cars

I do some of that route regularly, doesn't take long and some proper little roller coaster roads as I call them. Just need some better weather...

This is my back yard and go to route too.

Can you convert that into a route/plan with instructions? (Or whatever the correct term is)

Swap school and Grange road for Church Lane. 😉

Anywhere around the Albury estate ( Peaselake / the hills ) or the ex military bits near Woking are good for photo shoots.

I'm pretty sure thats me on the bike in the background! Caterham sounded great btw.

Would be keen for a drive out once restrictions have been lifted.
