Locations of villages, towns and cities on Caribbean islands for film and photography shoots
Fishing village, colonial town and modern Caribbean architecture for film, video and still productions
Caribbean villages and cities reflect the architecture of their former colonialists as well as modern influences that were added since their independence. That is why Caribbean islands offer a wide variety of locations for international film, video and photographic productions to be produced in the Caribbean region. On the former British dominated islands of Barbados or Antigua, the rather ‘strict’ Victorian architecture is still present at every corner. The walls of the massive old government buildings are of coral stone, which have a rough texture with natural patina.

Many of the luxury mansions in Barbados as well are constructed with the new, much brighter coral stone and are often combined with wooden structures in the typical style of classic Caribbean houses. This combination offers interesting backdrops for fashion shoots and commercial film productions alike. The more playful architecture of the French and Spanish island locations with love for detail are found in St. Martin, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Trinidad and Cuba.
But there are also towns with the clean minimalist style of houses like in Holland and Sweden. They are still very present on the formerly Dutch occupied island of Sint Maarten and on the formerly Swedish occupied island of St. Barts, which offers also the biggest selection of modern high-class mansions.
St. Barts (or Saint Barthelemy) is now part of France and it is the wealthiest, cleanest and most modern of all Caribbean islands. International fashion magazines and fashion brands come here to shoot their newest media campaigns.
From the sleepy fishing village with its typical colorful Caribbean wood houses to the busy cities - there is a great diversity of locations on Caribbean islands for film productions, video productions and photo shoots. The Caribbean islands of Anguilla, Barbados, St. Lucia, Guadeloupe and St. Vincent, to name a few, still have village locations with that romantic fishing village atmosphere and old fashioned towns with colorful houses, some more bright, others in faded, sun bleached colors.
On some of the Caribbean islands with “bigger” cities, there are some modern high glass and steel structures spread amongst those typical Caribbean buildings. They are used as locations that need a more modern backdrop, while other locations of the same production need the Caribbean feel. Because of its diversity Caribbean villages, towns and cities offer adequate locations for any media production, be it a feature film, a music video, TV commercial shoot, television series or photographic shoot for the fashion and advertising industries.
