Behind the Scenes Mercedes-AMG GT S Roadtrip Thomas van Rooij Photography

Behind the Scenes | Mercedes-AMG GT S Roadtrip

At the end of last year I was asked to go on a roadtrip for Mercedes-Benz to shoot some social media content for them. This ofcourse sounded like a treat alone, but they had a very special car in mind for me take.

In my previous blog post about the Daytona Coupe I told about joy of doing personal work. Or as I explained it, doing jobs without briefs that let me bring to life my own vision. Today I want to take you along another example of such a photoshoot. When a friend told me he bought a bike, this beautiful KTM RC8R, I knew I wanted to do something with it. It wasn’t long before I came up with a shot that I really wanted to get. Below I’ll tell you about the idea and the way we realized it.
