In a field where automotive photography often feels predictable, Anatol Gottfried takes the scenic detour. Splitting his time between Berlin, Barcelona, and Cape Town, he approaches each project as a storyteller—capturing not just machines, but the emotions, places, and personalities that bring them to life.
His latest series brings this vision to the Côte d’Azur, where the Alpine A290 GT, crowned Car of the Year 2025, steals the spotlight along the sunlit coastline. More than a showcase of design and engineering, the series becomes a dialogue between car and character—anchored by the presence of Nick Harwart, whose energy amplifies the playful spirit of this expressive French beast—further seamlessly executed in post-production by POP.Studios.
Anatol’s imagery is defined by contrasts: bold yet meticulous, dynamic yet composed. Every frame is cinematic; polished, yet still pulsing with spontaneity. By weaving lifestyle, design, and atmosphere into the automotive narrative, he invites viewers to see mobility in unexpected ways—charged with motion, mood, and meaning.
Clients turn to Anatol not only for imagery, but for the narratives his lens creates around mobility and design. Always open to new challenges, Anatol is available for productions worldwide.
