Star Wars Celebration

 creative direction - photography - producing

Ever since 2019, Lucasfilm has brought me onto their Star Wars Celebration event to photograph cast and crew of the franchise to promote the live stream. In 2022, my team designed a workflow that allows talent to enter the studio, have their photo taken, see edited images populate in real time, a select to be made, and an export over to the social team all within 60 seconds. It’s allowed the Star Wars social media accounts to use photography captured minutes prior to drive their audience to a live stream. I’m immensely grateful for the Lucasfilm and Disney marketing teams for bringing us back in 2023 for Star Wars Celebration Europe in London. It’s a dream to work with a brand I’ve been a lifelong fan of!
