Free fall Baltimore
As part of the celebration for Arts and Humanities Month, The Baltimore Office of Promotion and The Arts granted 56 artists and arts organizations. Throughout October, these grantees hosted free arts and culture events. I had the privilege of supporting this program by providing creative direction, utilizing my skills in photography, marketing, social media marketing, fashion consulting, and fashion show production. Check out some of my captured photos from the festivities below.

Akio Evans, a talented artist, showcased his remarkable body of work in a carefully curated exhibition. During a meeting at the BOPA office, we collaborated to create the captivating title and concept for his inaugural showcase: 'The Memoirs of Akio Evans.' Take a glimpse at the stunning photos I captured from the event below.
The Captured Couture Fashion Scavenger hunt & Show: Event Strategist, Photographer, Fashion Show Director, & Set Designer.
Caprece-Anne Jackson, is a passionate fashion enthusiast and was the charismatic host of the Free Fall Baltimore Fashion Show, 'The Captured Couture.'
To add an extra layer of excitement, attendees also took part in a thrilling prequel: a fashion scavenger hunt, where they unraveled clues to unveil the enigmatic designer.
At Caprece's request for something new and fresh, I conceptualized the show's unique concept. I transformed one of BOPA's facilities and the 410 Lofts Gallery into a captivating experience. Take a peek at the moments I've captured below.
Artscape: Fashion Show Director & Street Performance Director.
Artscape, hosted and produced by The Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts, is the most incredible arts festival nationwide.
In 2023, I had the honor of curating and directing the vibrant street performances that took place during the festival. Additionally, I created Project Artscape, a captivating fashion show experience that showcased grassroots and emerging designers. In collaboration with the Artscape: B23 Art Exhibition, The show featured 24 talented designers, each with over 10 stunning models. Both the street performances and fashion show became iconic moments of the festival, eagerly anticipated by the community year after year. To make it all happen, I directed a team of dedicated volunteers and BOPA paid production assistants. Take a glimpse at some of the unforgettable moments below.
Music & Performing Arts: Singer, Songwriter, Producer, Choreographer.

Below, you'll find some captured moments of me in my musical element.
