had the pleasure of photographing the stunning Lincoln Nautilus, a blue beauty, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Hajar Mountains. This project was particularly exciting due to the loose brief, which allowed for spontaneous creativity and on-the-fly shooting. The resulting images were later featured on Lincoln’s digital and social platforms, showcasing the vehicle’s elegance and the majestic scenery.
The Setting
The Hajar Mountains provided an awe-inspiring backdrop for this photoshoot. Known for their rugged terrain and dramatic landscapes, these mountains offered the perfect setting to highlight the Lincoln Nautilus’s sophisticated design and adventurous spirit. The natural light and varying textures of the landscape played a crucial role in enhancing the visual appeal of the shots.
On-the-Fly Creativity
With a loose brief, I had the freedom to experiment and capture the essence of the Lincoln Nautilus in a way that felt organic and true to the moment. This flexibility allowed me to explore different angles, compositions, and lighting scenarios, resulting in a diverse set of images that highlight the vehicle’s elegance and versatility.

Post-Production Magic
Post-production played a vital role in refining these images. By enhancing the natural colors and textures, I was able to bring out the best in both the vehicle and the landscape. The goal was to maintain a balance between realism and visual impact, ensuring the final images were both authentic and captivating.
