Projects
Margot is dedicated to applying her talent and energy to the greater good. She created and produced Equalipalooza, a sold-out fundraiser to defeat Proposition 8 in California. The event featured her images of the marriage equality movement and a stellar entertainment lineup hosted by internationally-renowned comedian and activist, Margaret Cho. Margot also managed global photography acquisition for ‘Blue Planet Run: The Race to Provide Clean Drinking Water to the World', a critically-acclaimed, large-scale photojournalism book addressing the Earth's water crisis. The book was produced by the creators of the best-selling 'America 24/7'' and 'Day in the Life' series.

“Life is your art.
An open, aware heart
is your camera.”
