‘Fall in love not in line’ is a personal project of Anton's, which is both playful and edgy with an anti-establishment vibe. This story features two quirky models with tons of attitude, interacting with one another and the classic Mercedes 280 SL, in a manner that is believable and relatable to the viewer, although they hadn’t met before.

The Acura NSX Type S was shot for MullenLowe US at the amazing COTA track in Austin, Texas, with production by Ink & Oranges.

Based in Belgium, Bram Declercq is a photographer who works for both brands and agencies.

Bram sees light as a tool that gives form and shape to his subject, whether it's an object or people. Because of his technical background, this is translated into very balanced and pure imagery.  

International brands like Thule (RV accessories), IVC Group (vinyl floors and part of Mohawk group) and Televic (conference and healthcare equipment market leader), have given him their confidence. Next to big brands, Bram also likes to create a vision for smaller brands, and he always applies the same set of skills and passion.

Cars are a big passion because of the delicate lines and shapes that live within the design. To bring these forward is almost like writing poetry with light and gives Bram a great deal of satisfaction and comes very close to the essence of the craft of photography.

Brian Konoske, born and raised in Southern California, is now living in the Eastern Sierra and Southern Utah. His love of the outdoors has informed the authentic feel of his photography, and his dedication to creating real moments that are never overly manufactured is a hallmark of his pictures.

Brian looks to the natural world for everything he creates, and his imagery is global world-view shaped by travelling the world from a very young age. From cars to candid human moments to a peaceful landscape, Brian's ability to see beauty in real moments and in real time is a source of constant inspiration for crafting a look of distinction.

In addition to focusing on capturing a moment, he enjoys creating a fun vibe on set so people feel free to enjoy themselves; thus making the work feel warm, approachable, and fresh. 

Besides photography, Brian is passionate about woodworking, great design, architecture, travel and spending time with good friends and family. He loves great food, animals and is always on the lookout for the perfect piece of furniture.

Jeff recently spent some time with Hyundai in California’s rugged Sierra Nevada Mountains. Now even more off-road capable, the team pushed the Santa Fe up and down all kinds of trails, and even squeezed in a video shoot including their Palisade as well.  The shot list was long, but with a week to pull it off, it all came together smoothly.

Once again, Recom Farmhouse brought Jeff on board to capture visuals for Canoo, an electric vehicle startup based in California. This time they chose a desert setting for their Midlander vehicle, the off-road capable version of their Lifestyle Vehicle. With a shot list in one hand, the team kept an eye open for opportunities as they presented themselves - it's impossible to predict a desert dust storm, but when it happens, you gotta shoot it!

Based in Los Angeles, Jeff has been shooting for automakers around the world for over 15 years.

The last few months’ work has proven to be quite an exciting range of different vehicles ranging from one’s everyday commuter to something that is purely a sight to behold.

Kevin and team took Mitsubishi’s revamped Eclipse Cross to a remote location without a cellphone and GPS signal to highlight its improved navigational technology powered with partner What3words. The next challenge was with a Mercedes-Benz E-class All-Terrain showing its off roading prowess thereby proving it is a great alternative to a conventional SUV.

The more challenging productions are with Koenigsegg and Auto Motibili Pininfarina. Even though the vehicles provided were prototypes, Kevin and the team managed to produce the desired photographs for the OEM to use for their media and promotions.

Currently, Kevin is working on improving photography and videography direction along with preparation for winter photography campaigns.

"It's a pleasure to photograph old racing cars because the 'Garage Queens' are charming. In contrast to old cars, the new vehicles have a brute appearance. They are extraordinarily extroverted."

"Hello world, my name is Michael V Piroon.

I picked up my first camera a little over three years ago and quickly grew into loving the limitless possibilities of the visuals we can create. My other passion since I can remember being here on earth has been cars, so I've put the two together and quickly found my own lane is sports cars and RGB light painting technique. 

What started as a hobby has turned into a full-time career, but now instead of creating visuals for customers, I'm creating art. I love where it has taken me and I'm excited to take it even further than I've imagined. There's so much I want to create and I'm ready to work on any car related project with any brand, anywhere around the world."

I take pride in getting the job done right for each and every client… and have fun doing it."
