Jeff Ludes delivers the new Subaru Trailseeker campaign – combining stills and motion. Shot over just two days around his Southern California base, the production moved from the Mojave Desert to the coastal Santa Monica Mountains.

A key element of the shoot was the extensive arm-car production, capturing both stills and motion simultaneously. At the controls: DP Jerome Wald III, who precisely executed the dynamic driving shots along the winding mountain roads.

“The highlight of the shoot had to be the arm-car work – spending nearly the whole day in the mountains, driving up and down the curves, capturing both stills and video simultaneously, with DP Jerome Wald III at the controls. At the end of the day, the clouds parted enough for a dramatic sunset – a great way to end any shoot day,” says Jeff Ludes.
