Lupe Fiasco
Lupe Fiasco
The City of Boston launched an inaugural music showcase put together by Boston Cannabis Week—an ambitious cultural event featuring major national acts and local legends alike, with a goal to create something lasting. Lupe Fiasco headlined the night, marking a powerful beginning for what the city hopes will become an annual tradition.
The Ask:
We were brought in to capture the essence of the event from the inside—shooting performance and documentary-style photography that could be used to promote the inaugural showcase and serve as the visual foundation for years to come. The goal was not just to capture Lupe, but to document the moment Boston set a new tone for music, community, and culture.



The Challenge
The Challenge
This wasn’t a small club show—it was a city-backed event with big artists involved, high expectations, and limited time. We needed to move fast, work with the lighting, and deliver images that were immediately usable across press, social media, and city platforms. No second chances, no retakes—just real moments, captured right.
