An ongoing photography partnership with Mercedes-Benz Portugal — built for a calendar that doesn't stop, at the bar Stuttgart sets globally. The same frames now run in Portugal, across Europe, and have surfaced in the Americas.

— BRIEF

Mercedes-Benz Portugal doesn't launch on quarters. New models, refreshes, configurations and showroom moments arrive when they arrive — and every one of them needs photography that reads the same on a dealer screen in Faro as it does in a printed press kit in Stuttgart.

The work, when stripped back: show up when the news does. Hold the brand bar. Hand back assets ready for every channel the marketing team touches.

— APPROACH

When the news drops, we shoot.

Studio cyclorama, on-location frames, dealership interiors, golden-hour exteriors — the shot list changes with the car. The discipline doesn't. Every set-up is reusable, every frame engineered to crop down to social and crop up to print without losing the model.

Lightroom presets, locked.

A library of Mercedes-tuned Lightroom presets that hold Mercedes silver and AMG signal red consistent across studio strobes, overcast Lisbon mornings and Algarve golden hour. The brand colour reads the same on a phone in São Paulo as on a printed press release in Stuttgart.

Ready for every channel.

RAW masters, edit selects, retouched hero frames, social cuts, motion-bakeable stills. Delivered on a schedule the marketing team can plan around, named so future-you can still find the file two years from now.

— RESULT

Photography that travels. Frames captured for a Portuguese launch now run across European markets, and some have surfaced in the Americas — same files, same colour, same standard.

The brief was a single shoot. The relationship has outlasted the brief.
