experience, captured.

Fifty-plus authors. Panels, signings, storytime, and a community showing up for Black books. We'll capture it as it happens — so your audience can live it in real time and relive it long after August 1.

Three years in, Black Books Matter Fest isn't just an event — it's a story your community tells all year. The photos from this day become your recap content, your press and sponsor materials, your author thank-yous, and the promotion that fills the room in 2027.

We want to make sure that story is told beautifully, and told fast.

I'm Kai.

I'm a photographer, creative director, and someone who's always been drawn to experiences that bring people together.

Lately, books have become one of those experiences for me. They've reminded me that stories don't just live on pages—they live in conversations, communities, and the moments people share with one another.

That's why Black Books Matter Fest feels so special. I'd love the opportunity to document the joy, connection, and inspiration that makes the festival what it is, while creating content your team can continue using long after the day is over.

What We'll Deliver

STEP 01

The Authors

From book signings to conversations in between, each featured author receives intentional images they can post, remember, and share with their own audience.

STEP 02

The Conversations

I'll capture the moments, reactions, and interactions that keep each discussion alive long after everyone heads home.

STEP 03

The Community

Throughout the festival, I'll deliver social-ready content your team can post in real time, so everyone can experience the energy as it's happening.

STEP 04

The Story Lives On

You'll receive a sneak peek gallery within 48 hours to keep the momentum going, followed by a fully edited gallery within the week—ready for social media, press, sponsors, and next year's festival.
