2018 was the most diverse year to date for Richard Thompson, shooting everything from luxury sedans for Audi to the Batmobile for Walmart’s 'Famous Cars' campaign.

Spring and summer saw road trips for Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar, time spent off-road with Land Rover, and the use of a very special "full spectrum" camera to capture the equally rare machines of Monterey Car Week.

Time in between was spent further exploring vibrant colour palettes and developing a new hologram painting technique to create them in-camera, culminating in a commission from Daimler's CASE research group to produce artwork for Mercedes-Benz's recently revealed EQ brand.
