Spectacular, a fantastic display if superior photography with cars, really gives the cars a full rich personality that dabbles in fantasy.

A lot of these are 3D composites — not photographs.

These ads are great but it seems like the "Dave Hill Effect" has been turned into the web's biggest cliche

How do you create the fade-in effect when scrolling down the page? Love it!

Man, these are awesome...I was out taking photos of my roommate's new car the other day, but they are nowhere near as good.

Amazing stuff. Really great work!

@ Le0niduis - Felix Nelson actually did a video tutorial about retouching a car. I think it is in epsiode 72.

Actually most of the "photos" are 3d renderings. Common thing now days for car ads.

iArts09/21/2009

Mercedes-Benz CLS advertisement is outstanding.
And probably the one that gives you best feel of what kind of car you're going to buy is Dodge Challenger SRT8.

mug2509/21/2009

iArts, yeah the Challenger doing the powerslide in the dirt is sick!

Melody09/21/2009

I wonder what that curved architecture thingy is....or if it's just a photo manipulation..

cs-negativ09/21/2009

That challenger in the dirt is so sick

Anonymous09/22/2009

MrShinyredplanet09/23/2009

The dynacism and energy in the shots is amazing.

Ferry Passchier09/23/2009

Nice works! But the (same) car in the last two images has different rims in each shot.
