Porsche 356 B 1960
Soft grey architecture, precise repetition, and a body shape that feels inevitable rather than styled. The red interior adds just enough contrast to break the calm.
Approached as a form, not a statement.
Light, surface, and context doing the work.

#type7 #alpinesound
Conceived as one of the most radical interpretations of a compact performance car, the Renault 5 Turbo placed its engine behind the seats and its purpose firmly between road and rally.
This particular car, a Renault 5 Turbo 2 from 1983, represents that moment where excess became intent — wide bodywork, rear-mounted power, and a design driven by performance rather than compromise.
For this series, the focus was space and light.
An empty garage, natural illumination, and the quiet tension between the car and its surroundings.
Using architecture as context, the car is approached not only as a machine, but as a form, defined by proportion, perspective, and presence.

That’s how long it’s been since I first started this journey as a photographer — and seeing my work featured for the first time in a book, across 8 dedicated pages, feels like a full-circle moment.
Grateful to and Raphael for giving all of us photographers such an inspiring platform to share our vision. Looking through the final result was surprising even for me, seeing images that carry a decade of dedication, process, love, and learning.
For this shoot, I chose the Ferrari 512 BBi Berlinetta in the garage of a friend. This isn’t just any car to me. Nine years ago, when I first arrived in Berlin, I saw this very 512 pass by my balcony. That moment became part of my identity, inspiring my IG name “AlexBerlinetta”. It’s one of my all-time favorites, and it has been with me on this journey from the very start.
None of this would have been possible without the people who’ve supported me from day one, and also without, which has been a huge part of my growth and a way to share my vision with so many of you. This feature is dedicated to and — two true mentors and friends who believed in me from the very beginning.
From a small town in Venezuela, to photographing dream cars in Europe, to being part of this book — I can only say gracias. The car world has given me so much, and I’m proud to share this chapter with all of you.
Thank you again to Eyes Only Studios for making this possible.

The blue paint, the flowing chrome lines, and that 3.5-liter V8 presence made it even more special. Paired with “Wasted Early Sunday Morning” by Sneaker Pimps.

Some symmetry in the background might give it away… but let’s keep the focus where it belongs. 🙌🏽

Brushed metal, soft light, and that unmistakable Paul Bracq silhouette.
Christian’s 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL, photographed against the sculptural curves of Zaha Hadid’s architecture, proves how timeless design can quietly hold its own.

Full story (link in bio) #w113
This time I was in one of the most prominent buildings of Swiss Brutalist architecture, combined with one of the great icons of the 80s, the Testarossa. Together with my friend, an architect, also passionate about cars and owner of this fantastic Ferrari we managed to do this unique shooting to celebrate our passion for both design icons in this great building that was considered progressive at the time for revolving its design around the automobile.
Something very interesting and curious about this building is that it was built in the mid-60s by architects Max Ernst Haefeli, Werner Max Moser, and Rudolf Steiger on the same land where there was a classicist 19th-century villa with a renowned lush garden that had to make way for one of the oldest high rise of Zurich the Hochhaus zur Palme, which also the name comes from that villa.
Speaking of the Testarossa, I think that for many, and at least for me is a car that brings back many memories and that does not fail to impress with its radical design every time we see it on the streets. To go deeper into the history of this particular Testarossa and its owner I did a little interview with Fabio to know more about it.
