We have a long-standing experience in photo and video shooting of yachts from 35 to 145 feet, built over 25 years of sailing in the Western and Eastern Mediterranean as well as in the Caribbean.
Some of our clients — shipyards, charter agencies, naval or interior architects, among the most renowned — have remained loyal since the very beginning of our activity.
To them, as well as to our most recent customers, we express our deepest gratitude: for their renewed enthusiasm, their trust, and sometimes even the friendship they have kindly shown us.
What greater reward than the words we receive after a shoot?
Here are a few excerpts…

In three words: Professionalism – Competence – Efficiency!
Nicolas and Romain Claris photographed and filmed the yachts we managed, to our complete satisfaction. Their "vision" or "artist's eye", their understanding of needs, their availability, the evolution of their equipment — always at the cutting edge — make them outstanding professionals with whom it is easy to work. Our professional relationship has lasted several decades and benefited from their constant adaptability. A big thank you for the beautiful photos and films that helped boost the cruise sales of all those yachts!

It's always a pleasure to work with Nicolas and Romain Claris, who work tirelessly from dawn to dusk, always in search of the perfect angle, light and moment.
They listen and also suggest other ideas to make the most of their time on board. When an owner asks me for a recommendation, I give only their names, because they always deliver.

It's always a pleasure working with Nicolas Claris and Romain Claris: stunning images, genuine sensitivity for yachting, and great energy at every shoot. They know how to capture the right angles, the right light, and create an atmosphere that makes you want to come on board. They are among the talents I love to collaborate with.
Looking forward to the next one!

Until my departure in 2019, I consistently entrusted the production of images for all custom one-off monohulls and series from 60 to 117 feet built by CNB (Construction Navale Bordeaux) to Nicolas Claris for photography since 2000 and to Romain Claris since 2005 for video.
Their sensitive eye, their artistic exigency and their perfect understanding of the nautical world give each yacht a unique and timeless visual personality.
Always present with enthusiasm, reliability and creativity, Nicolas Claris and Romain Claris are precious partners who know how to magnify, in images, the elegance and performance of the shipyard's achievements.

The perception of a catamaran for sale, whether new or second-hand, depends on the quality of the images dedicated to it. CLARIS' is recognised in the market; the exigency and work of Nicolas Claris and Romain Claris guarantee, for each project, remarkable results.
Bravo!

To look and to see. The photographer is something of a magician who reveals to us what they have seen and what would escape our own gaze. To be in search of beauty in moments, light, forms. Sculptor or painter, the emotion is complete because they have reality to offer us a raw emotion with which I feel in total complicity.

I met Nicolas and Romain Claris for the first time at the Cannes International Boat Show… I can only recommend Nicolas and Romain if you have superb images to be made.

You did an incredible job during the Lagoon 630 Motor Yacht shoot… The cover image is perhaps the most elegant we have published.

Nicolas Claris & Romain Claris, a singular complicity: one photographs, the other films; then one gently sculpts his images while the other assembles them with expert craftsmanship.
These two share the same mission, the same passion, the same madness, the same ambition, the same devotion, and if they have elevated their technical knowledge to the highest level of the profession, it is to better know how to set it aside and give everything to the forms that present themselves before their artist's eyes.
There was Lennon/McCartney in music, Germán & Mani Frers, Van Peteghem/Lauriot Prevost in naval architecture, and there is Nicolas Claris & Romain Claris for the image; this exceptional complementarity has not yet finished surprising us…
