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 sophisticated yet deeply candid spirit of the RoyalTeas talk series.

By marrying premium portraiture with the intimate, warm tone of a personal conversation, the imagery humanizes the crucial message of financial advocacy and digital royalty collection for independent creators.
