on location
Away from studio
On location describes filming or photographing at a real place rather than in a studio.
A movie shot on location in Paris uses actual Parisian streets and buildings as settings: The crew spent three weeks on location in Morocco.
The phrase distinguishes authentic settings from constructed sets or soundstages.
