Anke Luckmann showcases the versatile potential of the Gybow system at Eisbach Studio in Munich – impressively brought to life with a British Racing Green BMW M8 Convertible, generously provided by BMW for this personal project.
Using a range of backplates from Anke’s own archive, entirely new and striking visual compositions were created. Even scenarios that are nearly impossible to capture in real life – such as a car speeding through a steep curve – were made possible through Gybow’s creative capabilities. “And when you completely let go of the reins, entirely new visual worlds emerge,” says the transportation photographer about the project.
The unique visual finish was shaped by postproduction artist Tom Cordes, aka Halblabs, who brought a fine analog sensitivity to the final look – supported by BMW, Gybow, and the Eisbach Studio.

Anke Luckmann shows once again how photographic experience and contemporary imaging work together. The idea for this motif was inspired by the great works of the Canarian artist and architect César Manrique and the impressions of the volcanic landscape of Lanzarote.
Anke Luckmann photographed the vehicle and, with the help of AI, had the setting developed, which served as a template for the CGI background. Wild Pony Postproduction from Barcelona was in charge of the 2D and 3D development and impressed with its effective workflow.
"Thanks to producer Giorgio Mugnai and the production company Roma." Anke Luckmann, transportation photographer.
César Manrique Cabrera was a Canarian artist, sculptor and environmental activist from Lanzarote who was known worldwide for his architectural projects, in which he was involved as artistic director on his island.

Every adventure counts. Sand, dust, wind... in both hot and cold weather conditions – such as those faced by Anke Luckmann and her team when they photographed the new TOYOTA Land Cruiser 250 in Morocco early this year. A vehicle with a long tradition and a clear design language.
Together with film director Adi Chifor and the two influencers, Eva zu Beck (also known as Ewa Bianka Zubek) from Poland and Alex Stead, Anke and her team embarked on an exhilarating road trip across Morocco and its sheer endless landscapes. The vehicle’s natural habitat, this harsh environment and extreme off-road terrain demanded all hands on deck – because every production off the beaten track is always a challenge, whether with a photo unit or film crew.
“The return of a legend. With its iconic design, the Land Cruiser combines timeless style with cutting-edge technology. Inspired by the past but built for your next adventure, it’s ready to take you anywhere – and always bring you back. Effortless on the road and unstoppable in rough terrain, its compelling 4x4 capabilities and legendary reliability won’t let you down,” Toyota tells us about this impressive new version.
“Many thanks to production house Skylite Films, producer Mihaela, and the service production companies @bosalay and @kasbah_films,” says Anke Luckmann, photographer.
The Toyota Group, with its 522 subsidiaries, has a total of 372,817 employees (as of 2022) and produces not only in its 12 Japanese plants but also at 51 locations in 26 countries. Toyota also has four design centers worldwide. Founded in 1937 by Kiichirō Toyoda and Eiji Toyoda, the company was considered the ‘most valuable automotive brand’ in the world in 2023.
