Jeff LUDES and his team were just commissioned by LINCOLN to realize stills and motion in Southern California for the carmaker’s new 2024 Nautilus® SUV.
“We first tackled a very busy day of photographing in the Mojave Desert, which had recently blossomed following rain. A few lifestyle, some action, and even several interior shots – all in the clear sunlight under a vast open sky. The following day, the team had to return to Los Angeles, where they joined my film crew for the motion part of the shoot. Over the next two days, I carefully coordinated directing and stills duties, working out when to combine efforts or when to split off a second set.”
“The all-new Lincoln Nautilus® SUV delivers a bold new take on comfort, revitalization and connectivity, elevating the notion of sanctuary with a reimagined digital experience and sophisticated new design expressions.” LINCOLN.
Jeff : “The long shot list for this shoot was pretty evenly split between stills and motion. Having full control over the schedule for both meant that I could very effectively plan the days in order to take advantage of shots that would piggyback or need their own time and space. In the end, we even made room for a little playtime and came away with a few bonus shots, too!”
