# Retro Automobile Editorials Ben Bernschneider Photographed His First Editorial for C-Heads By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2015-01-22 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-bernschneider References: [c-heads](http://www.c-heads.com/2015/01/22/c-heads-exclusive-sophie-csilla-by-ben-bernschneider/) & [benbernschneider](http://benbernschneider.com/) Hamburg-based photographer Ben Bernschneider made his C-Heads debut with an exclusive editorial starring Sophie and Csilla from [Mega Model Agency](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mega-space-molly) and Modelwerk, respectively. Though he doesn't describe himself as a car enthusiast, Bernschneider explains that he "fell in love" with the orange [Ferrari](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-12cilindri) GTC 4 that's pictured in the editorial. The vintage automobile (it's from 1972) looked perfect alongside the clothes from [American Apparel Berlin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamine-yamal-x-american-eagle). 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Vintage Car Fashion Editorials:** Opportunities for fashion and automotive brands to collaborate in creating unique visual content with a nostalgic feel. - **Dark and Moody Photography:** Potential for photographers to experiment with unconventional lighting and settings to create captivating editorial visuals. - **Model Agency Collaborations:** Increased opportunities for models to work on diverse projects and photographers to expand their portfolio through collaboration with agencies. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can explore partnerships with retro automobile brands for marketing campaigns and product line extensions. - **Automotive:** Car manufacturers can leverage vintage car styling to appeal to nostalgia-driven consumers and collaborate with fashion brands to target younger audiences. - **Photography:** Photographers can experiment with unconventional settings and lighting, collaborate with model agencies to expand their portfolio and enter the fashion editorial market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Haute Auto Pattern Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-car-couture.md) - [Beautiful Automotive Design Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benecict-redrove-auto-photo-manual.md) - [Dynamic Car-Themed Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veiled-porsche.md) - [Collaborative Custom Car Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/model-a7l.md) - [Fashion Designer-Visionary Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gclass-past-ii-future.md) - [Fashion Designer City Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiat-500e-x-giorgio-armani.md) - [Vintage Hotel-Based Automobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunset-tower.md) - [Creative Auto Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-capri.md) - [Retro Sci-Fi-Inspired Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-12cilindri.md)
