Cadillac and LIFERS Introduce
‘The Seasons Collection’
Photography highlights the value of the journey and pursuit of life
DETROIT – Cadillac is partnering with The LIFERS Project and photographer
Matt Alberts to create “The Seasons Collection,” a multi-media photography
collection of adventure sports-driven stories about people who push the
limits in pursuit of their passion.
Using wet collodion photography, a 19th Century technique known for its
sensitivity to ultraviolet light, long exposure times and enduring images, “The
Seasons Collection” follows individuals and finds the correlation between
what drives them and the seasons that inspire them.
“Cadillac has always been a brand for individuals who are passionate about
their pursuits” said Cadillac Chief Marketing Officer Uwe Ellinghaus.
“Partnering with The LIFERS Project allows Cadillac to highlight individuals
who share our belief that there shouldn’t be limitation in the pursuit of one’s
passions, but rather the inner drive to take the risk and march forward.”
The first collection, SNOW, features a snowboarding adventure focused on
those whose passion is driven by snow. The second, SUN, travels along the
West Coast to find those who are influenced by the skateboarding lifestyle.
The final collection, WATER, travels through the Northeast to follow the
surfing community and other water pursuits.
Alberts will use wet plate photography combined with digital photography
and video production for the project.
Viewers can follow the journey to create this one-of-a-kind photography
collection in real time throughout the year via social media updates and
webisodes, weekly recap videos of events, places traveled and LIFERS
interviewed while on the road.
The project will conclude with an art show in New York City in December
2015, where the audience can view the original photographs alongside
Cadillac’s range of award-winning vehicles.
