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.
