WE! SHOOT IT

Munich - Frankfurt

This year, the WE! Shoot It duo Michael Compensis and Thomas von Salomon, who have made a name for themselves in European car photography, have travelled the United States on three separate occasions.

The duo photographed a spread with singer/songwriter Nik Chamberlain and his Porsche 911 SC with the fitting title 'California Dreamin' in Aliso Village, Los Angeles. The perfect pairing of the location's rough look and a Porsche SC marked by numerous racing missions, with this spread the two photographers demonstrated once again that they master the discipline of automotive photography in all its intricate facets.

The shoot for the new Infiniti QX80 took place in Downtown Los Angeles. “Above all, we wanted to get a natural perspective of the QX80 in an urban surrounding. This kind of photography is perfect for LA, since large-scale shoots like this take place daily and locals can be integrated into the motifs quite well - all leading to photos with an unaffected atmosphere.”

And back in sunny California, WE! Shoot It staged a bright yellow Mustang in urban and suburban terrain. After all this, the pair can’t wait to get back to the States again!
