About The Project

Colorpop involves months of planning and a high level of leadership and coordination to execute. Over the four years Marina and I have:

  • Managed a team of 7 assistants, 8 vendors, and 22 models
  • Secured Canon & Adobe as sponsors
  • Managed a 5-figure budget
  • Conceptualized 40 unique shoots including mood boards, wardrobe, styling, sets, and props
  • Executed 80 shoots across 10 locations
  • Mentored attendees with portfolio reviews, Q&A sessions, and post-event one-on-one calls

The most rewarding part of Colorpop is when attendees report amazing creative growth, new work opportunities, new friendships, and renewed creative energy as a result of having attended.
