Pool locations and verandas on Caribbean islands for photo and commercial film productions
Swimming pools, infinity pools, verandah location library in the Caribbean, location services for fashion photography and movie shoots
Caribbean swimming pool locations are an essential part of the architecture of the more upmarket Caribbean houses. They are also favorite locations for fashion photography and commercial film shoots. For any film, video or photographic production that requests a pool as shoot location, there will be the matching swimming pools available on almost every Caribbean island. Swimming pools come in a great variety of different sizes and shapes, they are either oval or round shaped, or they come in the typical kidney form of swimming pools that were popular in the 50'ies.

With modern 'clean' architecture also becoming popular in the Caribbean region, the very graphical rectangular or square shaped pools are much in demand as film locations or for fashion editorials and fashion catalogues alike. Most of the private swimming pools or hotel pools come in the colors of turquoise, light blue or dark blue tiles or they are painted in similar colors.
Whenever the pool location allows it, it is built in a location with an interesting back drop - in a tropical garden, or on a veranda or on a deck overlooking an exotic landscape or the blue Caribbean sea.
A fabulous dramatic visual effect offers the infinity pool as a shoot location. It is also called vanishing edge pool, because the water in the pool comes as high as the edge of the pool and it is over flowing it. This gives the illusion of the pool extending into the horizon. The visual effect is even greater if the pool's location is on a rather elevated cliff overlooking the ocean. The water of the swimming pool seems to vanish into the sea and so the pool seems to become one with the ocean.
A very interesting location for picture and still shoots are the natural pools. They are embedded in a natural location like tropical gardens and exotic landscapes and look almost like a naturally developed part of the garden like a pond.
Veranda locations are of similar importance for fashion photo productions, music video productions and commercial film shoots on Caribbean islands. In modern Caribbean architecture they are when ever possible build in elevated locations to over look the sea or a dramatic tropical landscape. A nice effect have the weather beaten wooden planks, and natural stone floors, but also the marble tiles and mosaics for more chic clothes.
In old Caribbean plantation houses verandas are usually built around the ground floor of the house. They are not very wide, but give a great effect on photo fashion shoots, especially when they still have the line of old wooden doors and shatters. The veranda's floor materials are either wood, stone, ceramic tiles or marble in various colors and they come in all kind of shapes and sizes in modern design or with tropical decor.
Veranda and pool locations are so popular in the Caribbean and they come in such a variety of different styles, colors and in various surroundings, that we advise to send a brief description of the shoot location that you are looking for and we will send selected pool and veranda images from our location library.
