MARC TRAUTMANN snapped an editorial for GQ UK with British Grime rapper and MC from South East London Tinie Tempah, as well as the new AMG GT. Creative director James Warner took the creative lead on set in London and Andy Knight carried out the set design. The pictures received a concrete wall via CGI as well as the classic creative retouch made by RECOM. We also present the behind-the-scenes video by Mercedes Benz here on GoSee.
We also present as a glimpse into the photographer’s portfolio, who cleverly combines elaborate transportation shots with people images in his signature style.
