Hamburg-based photographer Ben Bernschneider made his C-Heads debut with an exclusive editorial starring Sophie and Csilla from Mega Model Agency and Modelwerk, respectively.
Though he doesn't describe himself as a car enthusiast, Bernschneider explains that he "fell in love" with the orange Ferrari GTC 4 that's pictured in the editorial. The vintage automobile (it's from 1972) looked perfect alongside the clothes from American Apparel Berlin. Instead of shooting in sunlight, Bernschneider opted for a dark hangar. He explains, "We imagined having two beautiful girls stuck in this car, in the middle of the night -- under the moon over Saint Tropez." The dark surroundings contrasted nicely against the car and the girl's clothing.
The editorial was styled by Roma Matthai-Bartoschynski, with hair and makeup done by Josephin Martens.
