Overview / Project Notes (≈90 words)
Commissioned jointly by Ferrari and Shell, this production combined commercial storytelling with precision automotive imagery. A local agency (Talking Pictures) engaged me to document the full behind-the-scenes workflow crew, rigging, and on-set operations while also delivering a curated series of hero stills requested directly by Ferrari. Shot in Sakhir, Bahrain, the project balanced technical documentation with refined brand visuals, ensuring both clients received cohesive content suitable for broadcast and digital campaigns. Featured drivers included Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.
