Anna and Jordan Rathkopf are an award-winning Brooklyn-based photography and directing duo celebrated for their cinematic, documentary-inspired style. Their work captures authentic moments, exploring tenderness, resilience, and connection with unfiltered honesty. Advocates for caregiving and survivorship, they use their craft to amplify powerful stories and spark meaningful conversations.

Their book, HER2: Diagnosed, the Caregiver, and Their Son, chronicles their journey through illness and caregiving, offering raw imagery and dual perspectives on shared struggles and strength.

Their work has earned recognition from CommArts, The Communicator Awards, and American Photography. In 2024, they were honored by the International Photographic Council at the United Nations with the Photographic Achievement Award in Visual Storytelling, celebrating their deeply human and visually striking narratives.

Growing up in Prague, I was immersed in the timeless beauty of a city where every street and spire held a story. My uncle, a renowned Eastern European photographer, became my mentor, teaching me to see the world through light, shadow, and composition.
In 2016, my cancer diagnosis profoundly reshaped my approach to art. I became more aware of the resilience in a glance, the hope nestled in a shadow, and the quiet light that emerges during life’s most challenging moments.
Now, through my lens, I seek to capture the fleeting and often unseen—to reveal how even the smallest connections hold the power to bring meaning, hope, and light.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, I grew up surrounded by diverse communities and stories that shaped how I see the world. With a background in marketing and PR, I’ve worked with social impact organizations, influencers, and media outlets to craft and share meaningful narratives.
Now, I focus on creating honest, human-centered work that captures real moments—both the joys and the challenges. Whether collaborating on commercial projects or personal art, my goal is always the same: to tell stories that connect, inspire, and stay with people.
