What: Range Rover Evoque in white, BMW X3 and Audi Q5 at the back
Where: Cabo Espichel, near Lisbon, Portugal
When: October 2011
How: This was done to be used as a double opening spread at Automotor. To balance the back light with the one at the cars, I decided to use a neutral density graduated filter, shoot seven bracketed images and used Photomatix Pro for the HDR.
