Patrick Skrypczak, Creative Director at rethink for Volkswagen, in the GoSee Interview on Creative Direction, Relevance & Social-First Storytelling
On January 1, 2026, the BMW ALPINA brand was officially re-established as an independent luxury automotive brand within the BMW Group. It now operates on a level with brands such as Rolls-Royce and BMW M. BMW ALPINA had previously developed successfully into an exclusive ultra-luxury brand in the automotive sector. After decades of close collaboration, it has now been fully integrated into the BMW Group.
Robert Rieger photographed the current stills campaign for the new BMW ALPINA brand.

"Bangkok felt like the right place to shoot the Volvo EX30. The city has this raw, dense streets, tangled cables, concrete with skyscrapers rising above the disorder. Placing a fully electric car in that environment immediately created an interesting contrast I wanted to explore visually.
This project came together under tighter conditions than expected. A series of unexpected events cut our shooting time short, so most of the images were captured quickly, reacting to the city as it unfolded around us rather than controlling it. In the end, that urgency became part of the story.
To push the contrast further, the two talents were styled in full black and full white like graphic elements moving through the frame against the textures of Bangkok. What interested me most wasn’t showing the car in a polished or futuristic setting, but placing it somewhere alive, imperfect and...

Jeff Ludes delivers the new Subaru Trailseeker campaign – combining stills and motion. Shot over just two days around his Southern California base, the production moved from the Mojave Desert to the coastal Santa Monica Mountains.
A key element of the shoot was the extensive arm-car production, capturing both stills and motion simultaneously. At the controls: DP Jerome Wald III, who precisely executed the dynamic driving shots along the winding mountain roads.
“The highlight of the shoot had to be the arm-car work – spending nearly the whole day in the mountains, driving up and down the curves, capturing both stills and video simultaneously, with DP Jerome Wald III at the controls. At the end of the day, the clouds parted enough for a dramatic sunset – a great way to end any shoot day,” says Jeff Ludes.

Architecture, light, and materiality interlock with precision: reflections, surfaces, and the color palette create a hyperreal aesthetic. The work demonstrates how...
