Process

Process

I directed a production team of 6—2 photographers along side the Head of Video with 3 videographers—while managing every logistical layer myself. I sourced and hired the photography team, handled wardrobe styling, scouted SoFi Stadium locations, and built the full run-of-show across two days.
