The context
Form, finish & light
Present exterior forms and cabin details across studio and location settings. The focus is the visual character of each vehicle: the way its surfaces catch light, sit in a scene and read through the camera.
My contribution
My work focuses on material look development, lighting setups and cinematic presentation in Unreal Engine. I use studio lighting and environmental light to explore paint, glass, trim and interior surfaces.
The approach
Reflective surfaces need carefully placed highlights to describe their shape. I worked with broad sources, contrast and camera position, moving between controlled studio setups and architectural environments.

Documented scene and production views.
The result
What the work delivers.
The resulting image series includes exterior views, cabin details and alternative lighting treatments. The process images show the lighting and scene setups inside Unreal Engine.
