The San Diego County Advantage
San Diego County stretches from the Mexican border up the coast past Oceanside and inland to the mountains — 4,500 square miles of the most diverse, affluent market on the West Coast. Home to billion-dollar biotech corridors in Torrey Pines and Sorrento Valley, the Naval fleet in Coronado, the resort economy of North County, and some of the wealthiest ZIP codes in America in Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch, and La Jolla. Daily Grind Media was founded here and we treat the county as our backyard.
We produce photography throughout San Diego County on a weekly basis. The diversity of the market — from coastal to urban to resort — means every shoot is different, and every project benefits from a crew that knows how to adapt to the location.
Regular shoot markets within San Diego County include San Diego, La Jolla, Carlsbad, Encinitas, and we can often bundle multiple locations into a single production day when the logistics line up.
