Problem / Challenge I wanted to push my skills in creating hyper-realistic automotive visuals. The challenge was to replicate the look and feel of a professional studio car shoot while making it engaging for social media formats like Instagram Reels

Solution / Approach I designed a complete studio lighting setup tailored for the Porsche Taycan, experimenting with reflections, soft shadows, and contrast to highlight the car’s form. I studied realism in materials and lighting, ensuring accurate reflections and surface behavior. To enhance immersion, I animated the camera as if I were holding a vertical phone camera, simulating a behind-the-scenes reel

Outcome / Result The result is a cinematic reel that captures the elegance of the Taycan with authentic studio lighting and dynamic camera work. Beyond being a personal study in realism, it attracted attention from potential clients and directly led to multiple commissioned projects from around the globe.

Thanks!
