Sean Klingelhoefer has rapidly emerged from being a relative-unknown to one of the industry’s foremost automotive photographers. Spending years shooting what he loves and what he knows inside-out, his style is effortlessly edgy and elegant in equal parts. With today’s advertising aesthetic leaning back towards reality, his work is finding its way onto the mood boards of creatives everywhere.

Recent projects of note include a campaign for Chevrolet’s all-new 2014 Impala, a pro-bono public service announcement for Germany’s “Save the Ring” petition and a reportage story on Peugeot’s world-record setting run at Pikes Peak International Hill Climb for the UK’s CAR Magazine.

When he’s not shooting for clients Sean continues to pursue his personal projects. Two recent series include luxury vehicles from BMW and Lexus, both shot in the beautiful Southern California desert landscape.
