About Philipp Rupprecht

Hi, I am Philipp, 24 years old, born and raised in Munich. During my childhood, I developed a deep passion for cars. But not just cars, also for beautiful shapes, architecture, and design. When I was 14, I stumbled upon my dad’s camera which I immediately started to play around with. Soon, I discovered my passion for cars worked perfectly with my interest in creating beautiful things, and I started to shoot cars. My work isn’t just about the car. It’s also about finding great scenery and locations that make the cars look even better once positioned in the right spot. The idea is to draw all the attention to the car, but still offer an impressive background. From this, my third passion was born; travelling to find the best spots to photograph cars.

What I love about my work is capturing the uniqueness of each automobile, showing the power of hypercars while highlighting the beautiful details and clever designs of each model. With a background in engineering, I do not only focus on the design, but also the technical highlights of each vehicle. By combining all of my skills for every shoot, I hope that my passion for cars and photography translates to the viewers.

Nowadays I photograph anything on wheels; from multi-million-dollar hypercars to low budget road trips to the ends of the Earth. Enough for now, GET OUT AND DRIVE.

Ferrari 812

As a photographer, sometimes you have to create your own scene when things aren’t exactly how you first envisioned them. This is especially true when it comes to available or natural light, there's not much control around how the weather will affect your shoot. Sometimes, you have to create your own lighting.

The Stelvio Pass

Since this was the only time available for the shoot, we proceeded as scheduled and we made a last-minute decision to shoot on the Stelvio Pass. The Stelvio Pass is one of the most known passes in the Alps with its famous 48 hairpins.

Lamborghini Hurácan Performante

Finding the right location for my next shoot was crucial. Locations can help set the mood as well as give the project extra texture and dimension, which I knew I wanted with this special shoot.

Hangar-7

This time around, I was lucky enough to shoot the Red Bull Racing Formula One race car. The chance to shoot their f1 race car came from the cooperation between Red Bull and broncolor with their Red Bull Illume photo contest. Not only was the subject special, but the location was incredible.

Terzo Millennio

Recently, I journeyed to Sant'Agata Bolognese, the hometown of Lamborghini, for a unique photo shoot. Awaiting my arrival was a design project from the Centro Stile Lamborghini, which aims to show their vision of the future of a super sports car.

Mercedes-Benz Passanger Cars Calendar

Back in June, I was commissioned to shoot images for the 2018 Mercedes-Benz passenger cars calendar. The deal was, that I could choose the location if it was in Scandinavia.
