A couple of days ago, photographer and retoucher Clint Davis shared a guest post about how he created composite photos for a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4×4 brochure. Turkish photographer and retoucher Burak Erzincanli was also recently commissioned to create a composite with a Mercedes Sprinter.

The job was for Leisure Vans, a Canadian recreational vehicle company. The photo above is what resulted — it shows a Sprinter speeding along a seaside highway.

Here’s how the final image was used on the Leisure Vans website:
