Hi! I’m Rachel. I’m an independent photojournalist and writer based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I’m in constant pursuit of good light and strong coffee. My work often explores stories at the intersections of community, identity and trauma—including topics that personally affect me such as hearing loss, Jewish identity, and the #MeToo movement.
Beyond photography, I am passionate about volunteering, traveling, and food. When I don't have a camera in my hands, it’s probably because I'm eating pizza.
Please contact me at the phone number or email listed above, and/or use the “subscribe to updates” button to keep up with my quarterly newsletter! Also, sign up to receive updates on my forthcoming book, L’Dor Vador, HERE.
