About Precious Oil Productions

Welcome to Precious Oil Productions

We are a Northern Ireland based media production company who have been involved in book & magazine publishing, photography, music and video production, since 1990.

The term ‘Precious Oil’ refers to the expensive, perfumed oil used for anointing by the Jewish priesthood - and still in use today.

In today's world where pornography, deceitful advertising and corruption are rife, the media are often accused of being a corrupting and debasing influence on society. Instead, like the anointing oil, our aim is to produce quality products which leave a fragrance with those they impact.

We are currently building up a database of quality stock photographs, which are now available to purchase from this site. Subjects at present are: Classic Boats; China - Beijing Province; Israel; Scotland & Ireland.

Director of Precious Oil Productions

We hope shortly to have available photos - and some original art, modern and traditional - in various formats, eg. framed prints, JPEG files, art posters ..

Also, at present we are in production of a one-hour TV documentary and a couple of radio projects.

We have recently finished the production of a Celtic/Hebrew worship album and another Celtic folk album will soon be underway.

Stay tuned for further announcements! We aim to be just a little bit ‘different!’
