This Spotlight features images from Ciprian Mihai's latest projects, from editorial shots to commercial and OOH advertising campaigns.

He has been enjoying the creative aspect of creating CGI sets, which allows him to go beyond the limits of reality.

Check out more of his work on his website or Instagram.

Ciprian Mihai is a photographer based in Europe, but his work goes beyond borders, working in the Middle East, Asia, and more. His current portfolio describes 15 years of shooting automotive commercial, lifestyle and motion photography around the world.

From his latest project we get an awesome view of the BMW X///M in different styles, mixing people and cars together. Ciprian shot a new commercial for Honda and created a new way of combining CGI and photography for a Porsche GT3 shoot. Using drones to shoot is a new way of creating awesome angles and introducing the audience in the atmosphere of the location.

His portfolio is based on using lighting techniques and retouching to perfection, but also shooting with natural light, scouting locations and picking up the perfect moment to shoot. Picking one photo from a set sometimes isn't enough, as he loves to have a full feature that can tell the story.

During his career he has worked for lots of automotive brands like BMW, Honda, Dacia, VW, Toyota, Acura, Lynk&Co, Chery, Chevrolet, Ford, Buick, Skoda, Opel and worked with various advertising agencies around the world.

You can see more commercial work on his website portfolio and on behance.
