In a world where automotive photography often sticks to the script, Anatol Gottfried writes his own. Always on the move - based between Berlin, Barcelona and Cape Town, Anatol is a visual storyteller whose lens captures more than just machines—it captures motion, meaning, and mood. His work fuses the raw appeal of the automobile with elements of lifestyle, design, and place, creating narratives that are as emotionally resonant as they are technically refined.

From creating a desert landscape for Toyota using Gybow’s innovative light projection, to exploring unexpected settings for Audi under the 'Think differently' mantra, Anatol brings a fresh perspective to the visual language of mobility. Whether he’s highlighting the intersection of design and urban flow on the streets of Barcelona for Ebro, or crafting surreal visions of an Alpine vehicle placed on a volcano, wrapped in glass and clouds, his imagery invites us to experience the automobile in a new light.

His signature style—bold yet meticulous, dynamic yet composed—breathes life into metal and motion. Every frame is carefully constructed, but never rigid; every image suggests a story still unfolding. With cinematic lighting, unconventional framing, and always a subtle human element, Anatol challenges how we see cars—and the world they move through.

His clients seek him out not just for images, but for impact. Because Anatol doesn’t just photograph cars. He photographs possibility. For more work check his website and follow him on Instagram.

"We are a CGI and retouch studio from Barcelona.

Since 1974 we have collaborated with the most prestigious photographers and graphic artists in image retouching and post-production.

The artistic talent and technical expertise of our team, combined with a robust media infrastructure, enables us to work in various disciplines: photography, design, organic modeling, rigging, animation, compositing, 360º videos, and virtual reality. This range of services has made EGMS a creative and powerful technological partner that our clients trust for their project development.

We continue to explore the creation of digital content for different channels, using the latest technologies in printing, projection, and visualisation."

Anatol Gottfried’s lifestyle photography is a vibrant fusion of authenticity, energy and visual storytelling. At its core, his work captures human connection, movement, and emotion, blending the spontaneity of real life with the refined edge of commercial appeal. He has a distinctive eye for colour, light, and dynamic composition, often using them to elevate everyday scenes into something cinematic and emotionally resonant.

His shots don’t just capture life—they ignite it. Whether it’s a vibrant city or relaxed country side, people are always the spark—set against bold, cinematic backdrops that blur the real and the unreal.

Anatol’s style also reflects a strong sense of place and culture, from Barcelona’s sun-drenched streets to the funky vibes of Cape Town. Whether with a smartphone or high-end camera, his approach is defined by innovation, elegance, and a joyfully rebellious spirit—always pushing creative boundaries, always telling a story that feels alive.

Eager for new experiences and exciting projects, Anatol is available to work anywhere in the world. Have a glimpse at his portfolio on Instagram or his website, and get in touch to rock your next production.
