Brave New Word Studio × Car × You = Reality Rewritten
Did you ever truly believe your world was real? That the face in the mirror each morning is really you? That your car is just an object?
Let us show you how wrong you were.
The Brave New Word Studio is not a studio. It’s a gateway. A portal to your alternate self — the version you’ve always felt inside, but never seen.
Here, photographer Tibor Papp (getcloser.me) works with light and shadow — with surgical precision and dreamlike mastery, much like Larry Chen shaping the bond between man and machine.
But now, this is something more: the car gains a soul, and you see yourself — differently. Deeper. Truer.
The Brave New Word Studio is not just a location — it’s a coded reality. Here, Tibor doesn’t just shoot — he rewrites systems using light, angles, and motion. With the Phase One medium format system, the dynamic range is so deep, the result isn’t just a picture — it’s a sense of reality.
The studio’s soft lights glide slowly across the car’s curves — not randomly, but choreographed. There are no tire marks on the floor, yet everything feels in motion. The shot is taken, you step in — and suddenly you’re not observing the image. You’re experiencing it.
This is not a photoshoot. This is a new kind of presence.
The lights don’t just illuminate — they awaken.
Your car isn’t just standing still — it’s posing.
And you? You’re not posing. You’re existing.
Photos are created here that make you ask: “Is this really me?”
And the answer whispers back, like a line from The Matrix:
“You are… in the Matrix.”
This kind of photography doesn’t document. It breaks through.
It erases what you thought you were — and gives back what you’ve always known deep down.
That you are more than a license plate, a brand, a body, or a facial expression.
You are a character woven from light. A new identity — in HDR.
If you’re ready…
Drive in. The studio awaits.
Car Portraits in the Matrix — where your car and the light become a gateway to another world.
All captured with Phase One technology.
