Shooting with the Mercedes-Benz SL 450
This shoot was an opportunity to capture the magnificent Mercedes-Benz SL 450. While the shoot itself was kind of spontaneous, I immediately leaned into a stylistic approach designed to match the car’s inherent sophistication.
To pay tribute to the classic roadster, we decided on a consistent visual theme:
The Setting: We chose a calm forest clearing, providing a naturally serene and authentic environment free of distracting modern backgrounds.å
The Look: We instinctively went for classical, clean clothing—simple lines and muted tones—that naturally complemented the SL 450’s elegance without competing with it.
The Edit: To cement the vintage feel and honor the car's era, the final post-production was deliberately styled. I applied a vintage-inspired editing style, complimenting the available light, a warm colour cast, and a slightly muted contrast to give the digital photographs the rich, evocative look of classic film.
The result is a relaxed, yet stylistically cohesive series that celebrates the enduring beauty of the SL 450.
