The making of: LINCOLN

…and it is true. Clemens is not the usual car photographer. His background is more in fine art landscape photography, so the decision of agency Hudson Rouge’s creative director Alec Vianu to hire Clemens Ascher to give an entirely new look to such an iconic brand was quite bold and unexpected, but surely right! Supported by our New York team who was brought in for advice and skills on look development and retouching on set, and an experienced lighting crew, the final images have something unique.

Many extra elements were shot separately from car and landscape and afterwards comped in to give an extra touch of whimsy. The combination of very minimal and graphic spaces enriched by small touches of colours and natural elements, the milky and creamy tonalities, have formed a quite distinct style, pretty new to car photography!
Good luck Clemens in all your future work!

Below a short making-of for one of the images.

…and the fantastic crew!
