Well, in this case Per has a long career in commercial lifestyle and fashion, where Dejan is an expert at retouching and a ”sheet metal fanatic”. As they joined forces, magic was bound to happen. After all, they were both car geeks. Per does the directing. Dejan does CGI. Per loves lifestyle. Dejan loves hero motion-shots. The balance is always present.

Jan Steinhilber has been shooting for Porsche again. Together with creative director Tim Lehnebach from Grabarz und Partner he chose Berlin as the perfect backdrop for the new Panamera Platinum Edition.

The goal was to show the car in authentic and unstaged urban surroundings, which was achieved with the support of Berlin locals Claas Cropp Creative Production, stylist Stephanie Franzius and hair and make-up Artist Anna Kürner.

Post Production and CGI was handled with great routine and passion by Dock2 Studios.

The end of 2021 saw Jeff busy with a variety of projects across the country. For Chevrolet, his team packed up and headed to North Carolina, spending eight days with the two electric Bolt vehicles. Jeff worked with the weather as the rain came and went, bringing some drama to the series. 

Next up was a shoot for Subaru, and the revised Ascent SUV. Shot locally in the LA area, you can see these images now on the Subaru website and in magazine ads.  Jeff’s next project was with Hyundai, for their new Santa Cruz, the first-ever truck from the brand. The team headed to Northern California, for its epic landscapes: stunning redwood forests, rocky ocean overlooks, and rugged mountain trails. For seven days, they covered every inch of the truck and spent a day shooting video as well.

To end the year, Jeff headed to Philadelphia on a personal project. With an Audi A5, he split the two days by exploring the city and hunting for fall colours as the leaves turned. The skies cooperated as well, taking the mood from sombre grey to a vivid explosion of colour.

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

Kevin and team recently wrapped up some cool campaign projects, and by cool, it meant being in Alberta, Canada this December for both Rolls Royce and Bentley. Imagine photographing Rolls Royce' latest offering, the Black Badge Ghost, in one of the most iconic nature escapes in Canada – Lake Louise.

As always, mother nature proves to be a big challenge in any photoshoot but luckily the team experienced more than favourable conditions to shoot.

On the other hand, the Bentley Flying Spur and Continental GT were photographed in highly urbanized downtown sections of Edmonton, where the challenge was just the iced roads. Nevertheless, the team chipped away at the challenge and produced great results.

Currently, Kevin is working on improving photography and videography direction along with preparation for other projects in 2022. See more of his work via his website to stay connected!

Paolo Cecchin’s studio is based in Milan.

Paolo has always wanted to be a painter. Maybe this is one of the reasons why he personally retouches all the images he produces; another reason is the ability to control each stage of the work with greater precision. He starts with a black canvas where light is allowed to tell the story through contrast and shadow. He is fascinated by light. It comes from his love of nature and sometimes hanging on the wall of a mountain watching the lights on the horizon.

The fact is that being a photographer gives him a way to combine his passion for creativity, energy, adventure and storytelling.

Los Angeles-based and Australian-born, Paul Barshon and his production crew have quickly adapted to shooting and filming under the Covid restrictions.

"Commercial photographers and directors are natural problem solvers and the current circumstances means there are problems to be solved. 

During these times, we have successfully managed productions for Toyota (CGI), Volvo, Polestar, Renault, Hyundai USA and Aston Martin."

2021 turned out to be one of Richard’s best years yet with some fascinating projects across the globe. 

Despite the obvious hurdles extensive commissions were completed for Porsche, Inmarsat, Patek Phillipe and a few other exciting clients who are currently under embargo.

Richard specialises in capturing the forces of technology that shape our modern world including automotive, tech and aerospace.

He is often commissioned to shoot automotive manufacturing and this is a particular area of interest for him. 

2022 is shaping up nicely with projects in the UAE, Denmark and the US already booked in. 

Shooting stills, CGI and motion.
