Here’s a look at the two projects from JEFF LUDES that bookended a very strange year. He shot the first one in the early days of 2020, before masks and lockdowns, for CHEVROLET and the carmaker’s full-size SUV duo, the Tahoe and Suburban. Jeff’s own city of Los Angeles was the location of choice, with its flavor of winter weather providing plenty of sunshine.
From then on, things got a little bumpy, with plenty of ups and downs. Soon enough, Jeff Ludes and his team worked out the best practices for producing a shoot safely and intelligently, and have been shooting pretty much non-stop ever since.
Jeff’s last project of 2020 is a personal one – a trip across the snowy landscapes of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in a vintage Porsche 911 Turbo. The car is a little hard to come by, so GoSee member MAINWORKS provided CGI renderings and fully polished the images. Jeff Ludes: “A warm welcome to 2021!”

After a false start shooting skateboarding, Jeff sought professional help and enrolled at Art Center College of Design in California. He graduated in 2002, and joined Fox a few months later. Following advice to "shoot what you love," he was surprised to find a provocative challenge in automotive photography- to make a product beautiful, in an image that creates an emotional connection.
