"We're by your side" Bureau Veritas
In a visually compelling ad campaign, Bureau Veritas Paris has chosen the Hellenic shipyards in Athens as the backdrop for their latest project. As a commercial photographer, the opportunity to collaborate on this campaign under the guiding motto "We Are By Your Side" was both exhilarating and inspiring.
The shipyards, a symbol of resilience and industry, provided the perfect setting to emphasize Bureau Veritas' commitment to their clients. The location, steeped in history and industrial grandeur, beautifully complemented the essence of the brand—a leader in testing, inspection, and certification services. The towering cranes, vast docks, and intricate machinery of shipyards offered a dramatic and authentic environment that spoke volumes about the brand’s dedication to quality and reliability.
The photoshoot aimed to capture the essence of partnership and trust that Bureau Veritas embodies. Each shot was meticulously planned to highlight the synergy between the brand and its clients. The imagery showcased professionals from various industries working alongside Bureau Veritas experts, symbolizing the collaborative spirit and assurance the company provides. The use of natural light and the shipyard's textured, industrial backdrop added depth and authenticity to the images, reinforcing the message of steadfast support and partnership.
Throughout the day, the team focused on creating a narrative that was both visually striking and emotionally resonant. The campaign images are designed to convey a sense of unwavering support, capturing moments where Bureau Veritas professionals stand shoulder to shoulder with their clients, ensuring safety, compliance, and excellence.
The "We Are By Your Side" campaign not only highlights Bureau Veritas Paris’ technical expertise but also underscores their role as a trusted ally in the industrial sector. The evocative visuals from the Skaramaga shipyards encapsulate the brand's promise of reliability and dedication, reinforcing their position as a global leader committed to guiding their clients towards success.

Bureau Veritas Campaign 2021
The project was to show with commercial photography and specially portraits in action, how BUREAU VERITAS proves value of inspection technologies on ocean bulk ship. An Oceanbulk vessel was the Bureau Veritas testbed for different types of remote inspection technologies and techniques (RIT) as BV, Oceanbulk and Glafcos take the lead in using robotic solutions for ship inspections.
Bureau Veritas (BV), a world leader in testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) has directed and supervised the testing, establishing ‘proof of concept’ and operational purpose, for remote inspection technologies and techniques, including an aerial drone, a miniature remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and magnetic crawlers, on an Oceanbulk double-skin supramax bulk carrier, built in 2008 and classed by BV.
The remote tools were supplied and operated for the purposes of the photoshoot by Glafcos Marine, a Greek technical services specialist, which has been developing and refining the marine application of these technologies for many years.The tests were conducted under the same conditions and, to secure the necessary information, were required at an ‘intermediate’ survey for a bulk carrier of the age of the subject ship, between the second and third class renewal surveys.
The photoshoot of the advertising campaign took place in Syros shipyards Greece where the vessel, making a short visit, was inspected during a recent call to the Neorion shipyard in Syros for work on the stern that required a specific ballasted condition.
