What annoys me is that they rent these properties out for films! How much more commercial can you get?
We're not asking, or even inferring, that they endorse our products. We're just asking for a pretty background. I don't see what's wrong in that.
I have decided I am going to write to them and ask for an explanation. I will keep everyone informed.
I've had about enough, I pay a whack of taxes every year and these contribute to the upkeep of these properties! Why the hell should I be denied a simple request?
I'm really on the warpath about this. I can understand the stately homes not allowing photography - quite often you are in someone's actual home, and it's quite ill-mannered to just snap away, but the weird thing is, they are the least uptight about it.
It galls me worse as you see the pictures of these properties in the backgrounds of shots in fashion magazines, why is that good publicity but our companies are not? It's stupid, there is no rhyme nor reason to it.
BTW, I think the Archdiocese of Glasgow is quite approachable, you might be able to use one of their properties instead? Or you could try the museums, I know I've seen a photoshoot inside Kelvingrove Museum, even if it was a long time ago it's worth asking...
