A NEW APPROACH
TO OCEANIC IMAGING

Black Whale brings together experts in audiovisual production, robotics, maritime exploration, communication, and social and environmental responsibility to capture the ocean from a new perspective.

Specialists in marine imaging, we capture professional-grade images using our aerial and underwater drones, up to 500 meters deep, even in the most demanding environments.

With 12 international expeditions and collaborations with institutions like UNESCO and the BBC, we offer innovative technical solutions to push the boundaries of oceanic imaging.

IMMERSIVE CAMERAS

This equipment allows us to convey a unique emotion, distinct from traditional films, and provide valuable context for scientific collaborations.

That’s why we aim to continue developing robots capable of placing these cameras in inaccessible locations, to enrich the viewer’s experience and support scientific research.
