PilotLab X 2011 Toyota Prius Hybrid


05_toyota_singapore_sgcarshoot
Our first European client, Latvia-based to be precise, saw an automotive concept technology lab for autonomous driving (www.pilotlab.co/). The company is built by enthusiasts passionate about the automotive industry with an intention to decrease 1.2 million traffic deaths every year. We are elated to be part of this industry revolution by being engaged to shoot a series of stock media images for Pilotlab.co. The prototype used is a popular hybrid vehicle, a second generation Toyota Prius.

Here is the shoot summary.

2009 Audi A4 1.8L Sedan



Toast to another Monster-tuned machine. This time, we shot a white 2009 Audi A4 TFSI luxury sedan and called it a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It sure looked like your regular executive sedan and only the sharp ones, on closer inspection, could tell that it neither sounded nor drove as ordinarily. We’ll leave it to your imagination because everything else happened under that hood.

2010 BMW M3 4.0L Coupe



We mark the departure of the V8 E90 Bavarian marque. This is a heavy and luxurious M3 by previous generation’s standard with more than 400 horses to spare. And who ever said the sports coupé was small obviously hasn’t own one before. Take for instance, we managed to transform the entire rear passenger seating into a photography studio, housing this 5.5ft model (Miki Ace) comfortably. ’nuff said.

2016 Volkswagen Passat 1.8L Sedan



We were secretly thrilled to shoot this Volkswagen Passat because it has just been launched in Singapore this year, and the fact that this generation is looking way better than its predecessors. The day started ominously with the sky threatening a severe thunderstorm but we were lucky the prevailing wind did us a great favour. As Mammatus clouds started forming over the fresh lawn, combined with a beautiful sun rise in the distant horizon, the white Passat (and owner) appeared to gleam so much with pride. Boxes checked for a perfect fashion magazine shoot!

2016 Mercedes S400 Luxury Sedan



This is one of the most luxurious rides we have ever shot till date, and the only one in Singapore with a decadent interior option by Mercedes Benz’s designo programme. It showcases a peerless, high-quality and exquisite paint finish, an exclusive selection of leather and interior trims that round up to more than 30 grand Singapore dollars. We call this super luxury or rather, an excessive self-indulgence of unimaginable extravagance. Our inertia to step out from shooting the cabin was strong, very strong.

2006 Mitsubishi Evolution 9 GSR X 2009 BMW 135i



It is like a prenuptial shoot all over again. And for the second time in their couple life, their mistress and manstress are also on the set. (Their first was shot at Sepang International Circuit, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. Talk about hardcore petrolheads!)

Presenting Shawn and Justina, who literally drove into each other’s lives. He drives the regular-looking white Mitsubishi sedan on steroids – a 2 litre turbocharged Evolution 9 GSR to be exact, while she takes the 300bhp black 135i bimmer coupe. We set off against a beautiful sunrise for some mandatory lovey dovey shots, followed by documenting a small touge skirmish between the passionate husband-and-wife team. Pure fun, and it was all good at the end.

2008 Mitsubishi Evolution 10 X 2006 Honda Integra DC5



These two cars are legendary in their own rights. Featuring A’s black 4-stroke turbocharged Mitsubishi Evolution X and B’s white phenomenal NA Honda Integra DC5 Type R (aka white snake), both of them pedigrees of racing bloodlines, built from ground up in the land of the rising sun. Today, we have a quick shootout in the MCE, capturing both of them from different moving angles in the wee hours of a weekday night.

2013 Audi A3 1.4L Sedan



This is Sean’s 4-ring A3 sedan and probably one of the most handsome looking around. Deliciously kitted with a custom bodykit, generously lowered on coils and rims perfectly upsized, his ride gives everyone the impression of a longer wheelbase, and created a wider and sportier stance for itself. Capturing cars with a low hung morning sun is every automotive photographer’s web dream and the A3 looks just so good against it.

2014 BMW 435i Coupe



We check out Alex’s BMW 435i coupe that has been fitted with a full suite of goodies from the M Performance parts and Monster Tuned to 330 horses. From carbon fibre splitter and duck tail spoiler, blacked-out grille to 20″ ADV.1 rims and Eisenmann race quad exhaust, the list is quite exhaustive. The heavy rain before the shoot didn’t dampen our moods because it created a very interesting canvas for us to play on. Water reflection ratchets up the drama of the shots and we were pretty pleased with the end result.

Porsche Boxster X Mercedes C200


This is Keith and Sheena, and they are a young family of two cars. Just kidding. They have a two year old tot (name withheld to protect the innocent) and he is in his cutest stage of life. The gleaming yellow Porsche Boxster is the fun ride for the family of three while the black suave Mercedes C200 is the family car.

It is never easy to warm up a toddler for an early morning shoot – which explains his glum look in the photo above – and this is when the Porsche comes in handy. A few quick spins and the smiles were back on his face. With that settled, we are blessed for another beautiful morning with an equally awesome sunrise for our family car shoot. Enjoy.
