CAR & TRANSPORTATION PHOTOGRAPHY & MOTION Jan 2026

Alex Howe shoots automotive stills and motion for the world's most exacting auto-manufacturers.

He prides himself on matching their dedication to precision and embracing the newest technologies. Alex creates work that showcases the excellence of the manufacturer's design, marketing and creative teams in a consolidated visual synthesis.

This happens through his dedicated team working through concept, pre-production, shoot and post-production with an eye on every detail and meticulous focus. We can call it technical symbiosis or methodical rigour if feeling wordy, although simpler to say that this is Alex's creative passion, he loves it and he's bloody good at it.

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.

Jeff Ludes finished off 2025 with a couple of very different projects. First was yet another shoot with Chevrolet in Mexico City, which was again shot with Gybow! The team first spent a couple days on location, capturing backplates, HDRIs, and talent. Afterwards, they took the top-secret vehicle into a Mexico City studio, where the Gybow was set up and ready to go. Over the next few days, Jeff captured the vehicle, as the Gybow spun overhead, reflecting every detail from the location. Once back home in LA, Jeff pieced together the elements personally, so all went smoothly into retouching.

Jeff also had the chance to direct the video for the Captiva, shot with DP Mateo Londono.

For something a little different, Jeff produced a personal shoot with a stunning BMW M2, and dancer Prince Lyons. Taking inspiration from 90’s hip-hop, he shot the vehicle and talent in action, in both stills and video. Final touches and video edit were expertly handled by Mainworks.

Jeremy Shaw is a Sydney-based photographer and director whose work sits comfortably between cinematic polish and lived-in realism. His approach is grounded in trust, observation and a genuine curiosity about his subjects.

2025 saw him behind the camera on a string of major national campaigns, including two new Toyota spots, one focused on safety, the other celebrating their End of Year Sale. Recent automotive work also includes a campaign for Jaecoo’s new J7 and GWM’s Tank 300, where movement, scale, and character sit front and centre.

Alongside this, Jeremy continues to deliver emotionally driven commercial stories built on trust, instinct, honesty, and a strong sense of place. The result is imagery that feels grounded, shaped by real moments rather than manufactured ones. Work that feels human that leaves a lasting impression.

Jonathan Fleetwood is an award-winning automotive photographer based in the UK.

During a well-established career working with brands in varied locations worldwide, Jonathan has learned to adapt his process to suit the story while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic.

Commercial work with Bentley and Omoda alongside frequent editorial assignments for Top Gear Magazine made 2025 a particularly busy year. Projects unfolded across a wide range of settings, spanning Arctic ice lakes and gritty London side streets. Subjects were equally diverse, including Sámi reindeer herders and well-known figures such as Gary Oldman and Ozzy Osbourne. Each project is approached with total immersion, openness, and respect for his subjects.

"I’m an outdoor and automotive photographer specialising in high-impact visual storytelling for off-road, motorsports, and outdoor lifestyle brands. With 17+ years of experience, I work directly with race teams and brands to create photo and video assets built for campaigns, launches, and real-world performance storytelling.

My recent projects include producing fast-turn media for race teams and preparing for upcoming coverage at King of the Hammers, capturing the intensity of desert racing from the pits to the finish line.

I thrive in demanding environments where access, timing, and trust matter—delivering authentic content that connects with core audiences and elevates brand presence across digital, social, and editorial platforms."

"What a year! 2025 has been all about the performance and the luxury of the automotive world."

Montana was the location for the 2026 Bentley GT shoot, the Nevada desert was a dusty playground for the 1000BHP Ford Racing Bronco. Back on home turf in the UK, BMW commissioned Mark to capture the ultimate driving experience of the BMW M4 CS and BMW M3 Touting CSL.

Winter saw a welcome return to studio photography for two very exclusive projects with seven figure price tags. The Batur Convertible is a one-off bespoke commission from Bentley Mulliner. The Bugatti Homage is a unique hand built tribute to the original Veyron to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

Vancouver-based Noel Hendrickson focuses on automotive and transportation campaigns shaped by real-world experiences.

His work places vehicles, aircraft, rail, and transportation brands in natural human contexts, pairing clean composition with moments that feel observed rather than staged.

Clients such as Ford, Toyota, Mini, Mercedes, WestJet, Rocky Mountaineer, Carnival Cruise Lines, and more, rely on his ability to balance product presence with lifestyle cues that support brand narratives across markets.

Working closely with motion teams, he builds still imagery that aligns with film while standing on its own for broad rollout. Representation in Vancouver, New York, and Toronto supports productions across North America and abroad, delivering consistent visual systems for global campaigns.

"I work in automotive photography, at the intersection of precision and atmosphere.

My focus is on cars in real conditions — in motion, in changing light, and within environments that shape their character. I am experienced in working under demanding production circumstances, where control of detail, surface, and consistency is essential.

I approach each project as a complete production process, from understanding the brief to delivering visuals that function across campaigns, digital platforms, and editorial contexts.

Emotion is a vital layer of my work — not as decoration, but as a tool to strengthen the presence of the car, the integrity of the brand, and the clarity of the story."
