Raw Retro Filming locations

This gallery showcases unique locations perfect for photo shoots, capturing the gritty, grey side of Soviet-era architecture in Budapest. The Soviet era shaped the urban landscape of the entire Eastern Bloc, giving this architecture its powerful, dark, and at times ominous atmosphere. With our in-depth local knowledge of Budapest’s architecture, we’ve curated a collection of both iconic and hidden spots to evoke a distinctive and intense mood. These photos were taken by our team during special scouting trips, specifically aimed at highlighting the potential these locations offer for photo shoots, especially in fashion photography.
