/ ABOUT THE PROJECT
For this two-part editorial feature, I led the art & creative direction and interview for an in-depth profile on Brooks and Erin Reitz — a Charleston, South Carolina-based couple at the intersection of hospitality, fashion, and design. Brooks, a restaurateur and writer behind beloved Charleston institutions Leon's, Little Jack's, and Melfi's, and Erin, a designer and founder of her women's shirt line E.M. Reitz, together represent a singular creative vision rooted in craft, intention, and Southern culture.
The feature explored their individual creative journeys, their collaborative new venture Teamwork, and the rhythms of a life built around family, food, style, and community. Shot and conducted in Charleston, the project offered an intimate look into both their professional worlds and their home life, capturing the warmth, wit, and depth that defines the Reitz family.
