PHOTO PRODUCTION Jun 2009

10 years ago, Artists Group Portugal's promotional material stated the country to be Europe's best kept secret. Today, it's no longer a secret: Portugal has overtaken every southern European country to become the place to shoot. Over the last five years, productions involving international clients have grown by a staggering 500%, and Portugal welcomes new clients from Europe, China, Russia, CIS, The USA, South Africa, and many other destinations on an annual basis.

A winning combination of fantastic locations, great weather and highly professional service agencies supported by the top labs, equipment houses and post production companies, has enabled this small country to become a giant amongst the world's production centres.

Artists Group, an Anglo-Canadian company, was one of the pioneers in realising the true potential of Portugal. It opened in 1994 with Marilyn and James working out of a tiny office, and has now developed into a company producing over 60 productions per-year. The group incorporates two modelling agencies, Little Angels for kids and Real People for adults, together with Snow Business for films, stills, events and decoration.

Artists Group believes a strong work ethic combined with an international crew of top professionals offers every solution for any type of project.
