In the winter of 2019 we were given the opportunity to work alongside Mercedes as part of their latest ‘She’s Mercedes’ campaign. Through documenting the Akela Family, we were able to capture a glimpse into their unique lives travelling around the globe in their custom built Mercedes truck. Alongside the lush backdrop of the tropical forests & plains, we used the warmth of the campfire to recount their stories of the road.
