Stock photos of container ships do not sell a transport company. Your trucks, your depot, your drivers and your customers do. One shoot day gives you the raw material for a year of website, social, recruitment and sales content, and it is the reason the rest of the marketing looks like you and not like everyone else.
How a shoot day runs
We write the shot list and run sheet with you first, so the day covers the services you want to sell next, not just what looks good. Prime movers at the gate, the reach stacker at the stack, the cold room, the allocators at their screens, the owner on the floor. One crew shoots video, drone and stills in a single visit, timed around your operation so nothing stops moving. Drone work is planned around site rules and the airspace limits near ports and airports.
What comes out of one day
A short overview film for the website and sales deck. Cut-downs in vertical and square for LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook. Recruitment footage that shows the real job. A stills library you own outright, with the fleet, the people and the sites covered, that feeds your posts, your proposals and your tender responses for the next year.
Where it goes
Every shoot feeds the website, the socials, the sales documents and the recruitment ads, so the brand shows up the same way everywhere. Inside a marketing partnership the shoot lands in weeks five and six, right after the website is built and before it goes live, so the new site launches with your own imagery. The Arrow Transport shoot at the Melbourne container yard produced the fleet, stacker and executive imagery that still runs across their site and socials.
Questions we get asked
How long does a shoot take?
One full day on site covers a depot, the fleet and the people for most operators. Multi-site companies book a day per site, planned on one run sheet.
Do we need to stop operations?
No. We shoot around the work. Trucks leaving the gate and a stacker lifting a box are the point, so the day is timed to the operation, not the other way round.
Who owns the footage and photos?
You do. Every file is delivered in full resolution with the rights to use it wherever you like, for as long as you like.
Can you shoot drone footage at a port?
Yes, with planning. Ports and airports carry airspace limits, so we check what is permitted at each site before the day and plan the drone shots around it.
What if we only need photos, not video?
A stills-only day is fine. Most operators take video as well because the same crew is already on site and the footage carries the socials for months.
