“RoyalTeas” Campaign featuring Leslie Odom Jr.

For SoundExchange’s “Not That Kind of Royalty” advocacy initiative, I directed and photographed a high-end visual campaign featuring Tony and Grammy-winning artist Leslie Odom Jr. Set against the vibrant, design-forward backdrop of NYC’s Whitby Hotel, the shoot captured the curated yet deeply candid spirit of the RoyalTeas talk series. I married premium portraiture with the intimate, warm tone of a personal conversation, humanizing the crucial message of financial advocacy for independent creators.
