About Tucson

Tucson is the county seat of Pima County in South-central Arizona 100 miles Southeast of Phoenix and 60 miles North of the Mexican border. The 2020 census marked the population at 542,600, and there are over 1 million people residing in the Tucson Metro area.

Tucson served as the capital in the early days of the Arizona Territory. The history of the city can be defined as tumultuous. As with most frontier cities in the Southwest, there are stories of Indians, Spaniards, and characters of the Old West. Prior to 1912, there had been four different flags of conquering countries that flew over Tucson: Spain, Mexico, the Confederate States, and the United States. When Arizona was admitted into the Union, the 5th flag became that of the State of Arizona.

Pros and Cons of Photo Shoot Venues in Tucson

There are pros and cons to every task and project. The management that these issues have on a project takes insight and patience. The list below is a suggestion of important facts to consider for a photo shoot in Tucson.

Advantages

  • Transportation
    The Tucson International Airport is only six miles from downtown. The connectivity of the Interstate highways, commuter rail, and bus stations to downtown, the University of Arizona campus, and other destinations is functional and progressive.

  • Climate
    Tucson has been ranked as one of the metropolitan areas in the US with the cleanest air. It is also cooler and wetter than other cities in Arizona despite its southern location, meaning summers are not as unbearably hot as in other cities.

  • Scenery
    In addition to the interior spaces offered by the host owners, the variety of character in the scenery can support the messaging or branding of the photo subject. Tucson has distinct neighborhood areas and festivals to show allegiance to the diverse population and flavor.

Disadvantages

  • Local support of industry
    The production, photography, and digital media industries have virtually dried up in Tucson due to the pandemic and the discontinuance of tax incentives. Both Tucson and the state of Arizona have been at a competitive disadvantage when compared to New Mexico and California.

  • Competition
    It will be a matter of time before the film and production industries once again consider Tucson and Arizona as viable locations. There will be many other photographers vying for the same shoot locations, and this demand will bring higher prices.

  • Location specific
    Tucson and the surrounding areas are not generic enough to be considered location neutral. The messaging of the photography and the branding of the product will need to be conducive to the southwest scene.
