Blickfang is a highly specialised digital content creation, post-production and interactive media service provider for industry photographers and agencies. Gearbox-Studios is the biggest and most reknowned photo studio in the Middle East.

Gearbox and Blickfang have the same roots (photography) and some of the same clients, only separated by being in their own locations. In addition, both companies share the same mindset about the development of the media business. "In this fast-changing business, we see our chances for the future in collaboration and building a bridge between the two markets. Therefore we've been working in partnership since 2013 with merged manpower, skills and opportunities."

Photo productions largely depend on the creative support of post-production service providers. Tightly organised production schedules, high-cost pressure and a corresponding demand for high-quality standards require optimal production workflows.

"The most important point is the interface between photographer, post-producers and agency. It is exactly here that our team sets the course, together with the customer, regarding creative realization, quality and reproducibility of the artwork."

With an emphasis on locations to match any brief, 7 Seas has the strongest grips on Colombia, Cuba and Argentina over any other operators in the same region.

Looking closely at Colombia, the time is ripe to come. What did the New York Times write in their weekend January 5th-6th issue? “Colombia gets better and better! The country hums with energy and possibility, offering a thriving environment for creativity." The word is spreading about its unspoiled beauty and photo and film productions are inevitably making their way. Cartagena is the loveliest city in Latin America: the historical atmosphere, the grand interiors, fused with a recent cosmopolitan influence makes for a very inimitable place to capture on film.

Then there’s the Rosario Islands and Santa Marta beaches, as close to a taste of heaven as mortally possible. Here, the water is a perfect turquoise and the sand a brilliant white. Selecting which stretch of beach to shoot a summer campaign or editorial will be about the most challenging part of producing in Colombia.
