Anke Luckmann was selected to shoot the Lexus NX for the Canadian market. “Our goal was to position Lexus Canada as sophisticated, modern, confident, bold and youthful," said Canadian agency, DentsuBos. "Our job on brand was to build positive appeal for Lexus."

The theme of the shoot was 'Reflections'; on a dream-like coastal road, against a dynamic urban backdrop, or contemplatively in a birchwood forest. Harvest handled post-production.

For Renault Italy, Anke photographed the Kadjar on a mountain near Milan along with Italian rugby players Andrea Lovotti, Carlo Canna and Edoardo Padovani in the studio. "Somehow, they didn't want to climb the mountain, although it would have been a good workout for the guys!"

The agency was Publicis Milano with art director Dario Citriniti and Stefano Gruarin handling art buying. Grooming was in the hands of Vessy Vess, with production by SFERA – Milan and producer Miky Vilardo. Post-production was by M. Rossino.

Born in Germany in 1972, Anke Luckmann lives in Barcelona but calls the world home. She realised at an early age that there was no alternative to her becoming a photographer.

After completing her photographic education, Anke spent many years assisting a variety of the industry’s most successful photographers. 12 years ago, she began her own career as a freelance photographer within the highly male-dominated world of transportation photography.

Today, she feels very lucky to be asked to work for many of the major car and lifestyle brands, celebrities and top athletes and yet always tries to  find time to create her personal artistic work.

Her latest project was to produce all imagery for the launch of the new Mercedes Benz X-Class pick-up truck.
