Expedia – Jazz Fest

New Orleans moves with a rhythm you feel before you hear it—and during Jazz Fest, that pulse becomes the city’s full heartbeat. Commissioned by Expedia, I set out to capture not just the performances, but the texture around them: the intimate, in-between moments where culture reveals itself. Leaning into close-up details and grounded, human-centric observations, the series highlights the faces, gestures, colors, and micro-stories that make Jazz Fest more than an event. It’s a portrait of a city in full expression—alive in every corner, every note, every passerby.

The work blends documentary immediacy with a refined editorial sensibility, giving Expedia images that feel immersive, emotional, and distinctly New Orleans.
