Client event coverage

Project Overview

COM 616 Public Relations brought me on as a contract gap-filler to cover a stretch where they needed an extra set of hands on the creative side, without missing a beat for their own clients.

I worked as both a graphic designer and an onsite photographer and videographer, specifically covering client events on COM 616’s behalf. That meant showing up on-site, capturing photo and video coverage in real time, and turning around graphics that matched their clients’ brands and the pace of a live event.

It is a different kind of project than a website build. Less about a finished deliverable and more about being a reliable, on-call creative partner when an agency needs extra capacity fast.

Project Overview

Working with the Village of Spring Lake through Chase Loreto Creative, I covered the official opening of Tanglefoot Park in June 2023: photography, video, and the whole ceremony start to finish.

Event work is one shot. The speeches happen once, the ribbon gets cut once, and the light does what it wants. The job is reading the room fast enough to be standing in the right place before the moment happens.

I also shoot around Spring Lake on my own, documenting the people and places that make the town what it is.

Project Overview

The Mosaic Film Experience puts cameras in students’ hands and lets them go make something real. For this one, that meant a full media day at LMCU Ballpark: student crews shooting b-roll, running interviews, and covering a Whitecaps game the way a professional crew would.

My job was to document the day. Not the game, the students. The moment someone realizes the camera is actually rolling and they have to ask the question is worth more than any posed group shot.

I shot stills and video throughout, working around their crews rather than through them, and delivered a set the organization could use for recruiting, sponsors, and social.
