Offshore Film & PhotographyFull website coming soon

Offshore stories since 1964.

We've filmed and photographed offshore energy as it has changed, from early oil and gas to today's wind farms.

Platforms, vessels, turbines, and the people behind them.

Film, photography and aerial that show the scale of the work and the people doing it.

For offshore developers, contractors and the energy supply chain.

From planning through construction and into operation, shot by a crew who have worked offshore and know how these projects run.

New look. Same crew. Same standard.

We're building a new CHPV website. Until then, we're still filming and still photographing offshore.

Story-led film & photography

Offshore energy is complex. We make it clear, and make it matter.

Film and photography that build your reputation, earn the trust of communities and stakeholders, and bring the right people to your team.

A single film or a long-term partner.

Some clients come to us for one film or one shoot. Others build a body of work with us over years: films, campaigns and a growing archive to keep drawing on. Either way, it starts with what the story needs to achieve.

Film

Film and video

Company films, campaign series and project documentaries.

Stills

Photography and aerial

Commercial and documentary photography, from the ground and the air. Your work shown honestly: the scale, the locations and the teams delivering it.

Digital

360° asset tours

Let people walk a site, vessel or platform from anywhere in the world. Well suited to O&M campaigns.

Digital

Training and VR

Immersive VR learning and safety inductions that prepare people before they set foot offshore.

Latest work · Cadeler · Hornsea 3

First steel in the sea: a film for Cadeler.

Cadeler took on the foundation scope for Hornsea 3, the UK's largest offshore wind farm. We were on board as the first steel went into the sea, so the people behind the project could show the industry what delivering at that scale really takes.

The film was made to build Cadeler's reputation for foundations work, told by their own team.
