How to work together

Two paths.

Corporate & brand events → Plumwheel

For galas, conferences, product launches, and brand activations delivered as a full content engagement — photography, on-camera executive interviews, edited content campaigns your team can use for months — these run through Plumwheel, my AI-native marketing studio.

Plumwheel handles the full event end to end. Same person on camera; full team behind it. Most corporate events evaporate 48 hours after the closing keynote. Plumwheel extends the half-life.

Cultural, editorial, institutional → book direct

For theater productions, editorial assignments, individual portraits, cabaret, fundraisers for cultural institutions, and one-off photography commissions that don't need a full content team, direct booking here is the right shape.

Press selection in 48 hours. Donor-comms, press, and social use included.

Why this person

Twenty years on stage and in front of cameras produces a specific read on a room. Shooting a gala means knowing what a leader looks like in frame before the shutter fires.

Twenty years in front of and behind the camera — including a recurring role on Peacock's Dr. Death opposite Mandy Moore, the Lincoln Center production of War Horse, and a body of theater photography credited in The New York Times. The acting and the photography aren't separate practices; they're the same craft from two angles.

Alongside the photography practice: Plumwheel (AI-native marketing studio) and RAGnos Labs (AI build lab). For corporate events, that means the content doesn't sit in a drive after the event.
