The Dominican Republic is revered as the
Caribbean's most versatile Country. It has an
array of production location choices from
third world through to cutting-edge post-
modern design.
The country offers locations as diverse as the
Caribbean's highest mountain the Pico Duarte,
the sun-drenched south beaches with powder
white sand and crystal clear waters, the
country's interior which includes pine crested
countryside with white water rivers, the
breathtaking western deserts and the charm
of the north's countryside and Victorian
architecture. And of course we can never
forget the Capital City of Santo Domingo and
her Christopher Columbus era Architecture
unrivalled anywhere in the entire world.
Dominican Republic Locations Scouts has an
extensive knowledge of the best the
Dominican Republic has to offer and will
enable an efficient and relevant choice of
location for your photography production.
We scout locations for you, and supply you
with digital images and a detailed logistical
recce where required.
If your deadline is tight, we will upload images
and information to a secure site on the web,
instantly accessible to you and your
production team. This means that you can
squeeze every valuable minute out of your
schedule and collaborate with your team no
matter where they are. Once you've chosen
the locations we'll prepare and submit
permissions requests to the relevant people
on your behalf and drive a hard bargain so
that you don't pay a penny over the odds in
location fees.

SHOOT ALL YEAR
Given the climatic changes observed in the
world, seasons are not as marked, thereby
turning the whole year.
Thus, officially the rainy season is between
June and November, but there was very little
rain during the last two years, which proves
that we may very well turn even during this
time of year.
Hurricanes and cyclones are often positioned
in the northern Caribbean close to Florida and
Mexico and heavy rains of this period are
generally shorter durations.
Temperatures range from 25 degrees Celsius /
77 Fahrenheit during the rainy season and 30
degrees Celsius / 86 Fahrenheit during the dry
season. Thus, water is nice and warm all year.
On average, there are 12 hours of daylight
during the dry season and 10 hours in the
rainy season.
High season is between January 3 and April 15
and the low season between April 15 and
December 18. The period from December 18
to January 3 should be avoided because of
cost.
