Urs Buhlman Photography   Auckland car & transportation photographers

Urs Buhlman is one of Australasia’s most highly regarded automotive photographers. Working out of both New Zealand and Australia, his award-winning, technically ambitious work is evidence of the experimental possibilities that are the ultimate of image making.

He has specialised in shooting automotive, landscape and location assignments for clients from Japan, India, the USA, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Shooting primarily on location where he enjoys being pushed to his limits, Urs is engrossed in the challenge of unpredictable weather and lighting conditions. Later, in post, he adds his trademark grade of dramatic tones and high detail refinement. Over the last three years, Urs has shot and created a large variety of landscape road environments with matching 360° HDRI domes specifically to be used with automotive CGI mesh models.
