Mystery on the Delta King — Cast Editorial
Overview
A cinematic editorial photographed on 35mm film aboard the historic Delta King riverboat in Sacramento. Created in collaboration with Winters Theatre Company, this golden-hour series captures the cast of Murder on the Nile in character, blending vintage glamour, suspense, and theatrical mood.
Creative Direction
Inspired by mid-century film noir and Agatha Christie-era mystery, this project leans into dramatic lighting, vintage-inspired costumes from the production, and natural light direction. I served as both photographer and creative director, working closely with the cast to shape each vignette and gesture toward narrative tension.

Leica M3 with 50mm Summicron f/2
