Lugano produces editorials by the lake, on Monte Brè and in the LAC cultural centre; Bellinzona brings medieval UNESCO castles for fashion and historical shoots; Locarno delivers palm-lined promenades, Piazza Grande and Val Verzasca scenery; Mendrisio clusters the Italian fashion industry around the FoxTown outlet mall and produces lookbooks; Chiasso at the border serves cross-border and industrial content.
Ticino is the only majority Italian-speaking canton in Switzerland and the shooting hinterland for Milan — reachable in under an hour. Productions are briefed in Italian. Italian fashion and beauty brands cast in Ticino regularly, the LAC Lugano produces culture content, the Locarno Film Festival draws film and fashion shoots, and the Mendrisio outlet world generates e-commerce series in large volume.

We book in Lugano, Bellinzona, Locarno, Mendrisio, Chiasso and Ascona. Large fashion shoots run in Lugano and Mendrisio, film and festival content in Locarno, castle shoots in Bellinzona and nature productions in Val Verzasca and Lavertezzo.
Yes. Sets run in Italian; many productions come directly from Milan. Bilingual models (IT/DE or IT/EN) are particularly in demand because they can also serve productions for German-Swiss brands.
Yes. The Ticino production landscape is tightly interwoven with Milan; many jobs start or end south of the border. We place you in productions that stretch between Ticino and Lombardy with appropriate travel planning.
Nothing. You apply for free, we produce your sedcard shoot at our expense and pay you fairly and on time. Agency fees never apply at THE GOOD STAFF.
