I’m Max Orenstein, and I built Run With It Productions because after years working inside the organizations that depend on fast, accurate, high-stakes photography, I kept seeing the same gaps.

Most photography teams don’t understand what internal comms, program teams, sponsors, and principals actually need.

I started in newsrooms, where I learned to anticipate moments, move fast, and deliver under pressure.

In national media, I learned what it takes to produce and publish visual content at scale — accurately, on deadline, and without excuses.

At the Clinton Foundation, I worked in principal-level rooms, supported major events, and managed a massive digital archive. I saw how crucial metadata, organization, and speed are when the world is watching.

At the New York State Executive Chamber, I led creative and visual operations during the COVID-19 pandemic, giving us the opportunity to create national public-health campaigns, and press-heavy environments where timing and accuracy weren't negotiable.

Across all of it, one truth was consistent:

Internal teams were juggling too much to manage photographers, workflows, approvals, and metadata on top of everything else.

So I built the photography partner I wished existed when I was on the inside:

• newsroom instincts

• political awareness

• production-level organization

• metadata discipline

• real-time or rapid delivery

• an approval workflow that actually works

• a team that removes cognitive load instead of adding to it

Run With It Productions exists because high-profile events deserve a photography partner who understands the stakes and goals.

You tell us what you need, and we run with it.
