Adam Ewing’s Hand-Crafted “Lincoln” Promo
Garden & Gun Photography Director Maggie Brett Kennedy sent me Adam Ewing’s “Lincoln” promo a couple of weeks ago. The hand-made quality of the promo and attention to detail convinced Kennedy that the promo was “definitely a keeper,” she says. “Every aspect of Adam’s promo stood out as soon as it arrived in the mail.”
Ewing, a Richmond, Virginia editorial and advertising photographer, made the promo from a personal portraiture project he created with his friend Anya Mills, an art producer at The Martin Agency. The project depicts the actors and extras from Richmond who were cast in Steven Spielberg’s film “Lincoln,” which was shot in the area.
The color portraits show the actors in modern-day clothes with 19th century hairstyles, and the images were digitally processed and printed to reference the wet plate collodion portraits of the era, even though they’re in color. “I liked the idea of respectfully nodding to this style of photography, but it was definitely not my intention to fool anyone into thinking that that was how they were created.” Ewing tells PDN via email. “My goal was only to blend the past with the present.”
“I felt this side/personal project was something I wanted to share with clients,” Ewing explains. “I do a lot of portraiture and automotive/motorcycle work, and want to show my range.” The loose prints in the promo are wrapped in parchment and bound with twine, and slipped into a clear plastic envelope with a brown-paper address label. The address is handwritten in an old style. And the stamps even commemorate the Emancipation Proclamation. “My producer Cindy Hicks (who was an art producer for 16 years), really impressed upon me which mailers caught her attention over the years, and she put the entire package together,” Ewing notes. The promos are all numbered as well.
