    From brief to frame

    What we work on

    01

    Advertising and brand campaigns

    Luxury goods, fashion, hospitality, spirits, watches: a classic car instantly associates your product with heritage, craftsmanship and a Riviera art of living.

    02

    Fashion editorials and lookbooks

    From 1960s Riviera glamour to 1970s Italian chic, our cars give stylists and photographers a strong period reference to build a story around.

    03

    Music videos and film scenes

    A roadster on a coastal road, a sports car in front of a Monaco façade, a vintage 4×4 on a dirt track: cars that bring character and movement to the screen.

    04

    Product launches and events

    A classic car as the centrepiece of a set, a stand or a launch evening creates a striking visual anchor.

    05

    Content creators and private photoshoots

    Influencers, brand ambassadors, engagement shoots or a personal project: our cars make scroll-stopping visuals for Instagram, TikTok and beyond.

    Iconic backdrops

    Riviera locations

    The Côte d'Azur is one of Europe's most sought-after backdrops, and our cars know its roads well. Popular settings include the Promenade des Anglais and the old town of Nice, the pastel harbour of Villefranche-sur-Mer, the hairpins and perched village of Èze, the streets and façades of Monaco, the red cliffs of the Estérel and the harbour and vineyards of Saint-Tropez. We can suggest locations suited to your car and your light. Shooting on public roads or in some towns — Monaco in particular — may require authorisation from the local authorities, so plan ahead.
