7 Seas Productions offers high-quality production services across the Caribbean with a focus on Colombia and Cuba. Established in the late 90s, it has consistently focused on building the profiles of Colombia and Cuba - against all odds. It has championed for Colombia despite the reputation of drug trafficking and Marxist guerrillas and has shown that Cuba has more than just a left leaning communist regime.

Now, both countries have become strong, vibrant players in their own league and offer the best of two location worlds in the wider “Caribbean Republic”. Although they may appear to have much in common, such as the colonial cities and beaches, there are many important differences worth knowing.

7 Seas counsels its clients on these differences, according to the photographic needs of the brief, seasonal climates and special locations required. Cartagena for instance as the jewel of the Colombian Caribbean is as vanguard now as Acapulco, Mexico was in the 50s.

Recent productions have been carried out for J.Crew, Bloomingdales, Bonobos, Garnet Hill, JP Boden, Town & Country, Simons, Mercedes AMG Magazine, Otto and Bergdorf Goodman.
