Anatol Gottfried
Germany - Spain - South Africa
Anatol Gottfried’s lifestyle and automotive photography fuses authenticity, energy, and narrative—turning movement and attitude into cohesive visual stories.
In his recent collaboration with SEAT and catorce14, he brings this approach to 'Rollin’ Young', a campaign built around a mindset rather than an age group. Skaters, friends, and cars share the same restless energy: always rolling, always looking forward. The wide-angle lens pulls viewers into the action, stretching the perspective and transforming urban corners into stages of style and confidence. The visual language nods to raw skate videos while refining them for contemporary automotive storytelling.
Blending fashion, lifestyle, and mobility, the imagery feels spontaneous yet tightly composed—where SEAT and street culture coexist in one fluid narrative. A bold fusion of youthfulness and motion, Rollin’ Young underlines Anatol’s ability to shape brands through attitude-driven visuals.
Explore more on his website and Instagram, and imagine what your next project could become.
