Glamour Photo shoots in DR, models, laws etc?

[athertop]

I am a UK based photographer, and have been given the opportunity to visit DR (a friend's house), with the potential of doing several glamour/nude shoots during my stay. The work I do is for clients based worldwide, and I mostly scout for local models in advance before I plan a location visit. I would hope that most models would be from DR, some may be from US. I was wondering what the legal implications of hiring local talent would be (legalities of paying local models etc), and also the social implications of carrying out a glamour shoot in DR also (sorry the social side isn't particularly specific to this forum area, but worth asking). Also, what is the policy on public nudity in DR, and the social attitude towards this generally? The idea would be that shoots would be carried out in and around the house in privacy as well as some secluded surrounding countryside areas. I'd rather find the facts before I plan the trip, rather than be arrested if I do something outside the DR's acceptable limits.

Thanks in advance, Paul A

Our resident lawyer Mr Guzman has said that there is no law in the DR against taking nude pictures of consenting adults. Make sure they have a cedula that will show their age and make sure the cedula isn't a fake.

Make sure the outdoor shots are in a very secluded area because public nudity isn't an acceptable thing in the DR
