Jeff Ludes
California
Jeff Ludes and his team recently shot the new Subaru Trailseeker SUV over two fast paced days close to his Southern California base, first in the Mojave Desert, then in the coastal Santa Monica Mountains.
The highlight of the production was, of course, the arm car work. The team spent the day driving through winding mountain roads, capturing stills and video simultaneously, with DP Jerome Wald III at the controls.
To wrap up the shoot, the clouds finally parted just in time for a dramatic sunset, the perfect ending to an intense couple of days.

Tom Klocker
Austria
"Last autumn, my wife Anna and I had the chance to shoot an incredible campaign for the all-new Audi Q3 in the heart of the Alps.
From producing stills for Audi AG surrounded by epic mountain landscapes, to being part of a short film together with our husky Frida — this project was all about freedom, adventure and pure good vibes. Road trips through alpine roads, sunrise hikes, hike & fly sessions, endless summer energy and unforgettable moments with the new Q3. A perfect mix of outdoor lifestyle, creativity and the spirit of exploring.
Still grateful to have been part of this journey."

Bram Declercq
Belgium
Bram Declercq is a Belgian photographer creating automotive imagery for brands that need more than a glossy hero shot. He works with Phase One medium format systems for the highest quality stills and mirrorless cameras for dynamic in motion work, treating every project as a photographic challenge first, while integrating hybrid capture and CGI into the workflow whenever the brief calls for it.
The result is automotive photography that holds up at billboard scale and stands up to close inspection. Bram prefers to light, frame, and finish cars on set rather than rely on heavy retouching afterwards. Light, surface, and stance are carefully decided in camera.
He collaborates with agencies, art buyers, and creatives who need a photographer with a strong understanding of what modern image making involves.
