Lincoln has a lot riding on the new
Continental, and the company is now calling upon renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz to glam-up its new flagship. Her photos are part of a new series dubbed “That’s Continental,” which the automaker will use in high-end publications and on social media.


Leibovitz’s iconic photos have been used in magazines like
Rolling Stone and
Vanity Fair, and she’s photographed celebrities, politicians, literary icons, and landmark events. The new series for the Continental is Leibovitz’s first attempt at car photography and it follows a road trip theme inspired by the trips she took with her father as a child. The photos for the campaign were shot in New York City with a group of non-professional models, including a musician, an artist, an actor, and a film director and his dog, Seven.


“Annie Leibovitz is a photographer of substance,” said Lincoln president Kumar Galhotra. “The rich, warm emotions her photos evoke, mirror the feelings we want our clients to experience on all of their journeys in the new Lincoln Continental.”


While we’re still arguing over the Continental’s looks, Leibovitz’s pictures show the sedan at its best.
