Portrait of Jack Sorokin, Brooklyn-based photographer and filmmaker
Brooklyn, New York

An attention to people.
A sense of place.

I am a photographer and filmmaker in Brooklyn. I shoot interiors, architecture, and hospitality, along with documentary and portrait work.

The two feed each other. I photograph rooms the way I photograph people, on available light, with attention to how a place is actually used. I look for mood and for the details that hold a story.

I’ve spent years photographing communities in Western North Carolina and the environments they move through. That work is where the approach came from and it carries into everything else.
