In place of the usual production hurdles, this project was defined by its international scale. The IVCI brings together a diverse group of artists who speak different languages but share the universal tongue of classical music. My photography aimed to highlight this cultural intersection. I documented the camaraderie between competitors behind the scenes and the mutual respect shared between the jury and the performers.
By capturing the global nature of the event, I helped reinforce the idea that Indianapolis is a premier destination for international high art. These images weren't just about a local contest but about a worldwide legacy being written in real time.



The IVCI is a cornerstone of the Indianapolis arts community and a major player in the global music scene. Being able to provide the visual record for such a high-stakes event was a lesson in poise and excellence.
The final gallery of images serves as a permanent archive of the "Gold" standard of musicianship. It was an honor to witness this level of talent and to ensure that the visual representation of the competition was as polished as the performances themselves.
Next projects.
