[MUSIC] I'm Lori Berkowitz. I'm a photographer in New York
City. I take portraits of all kinds of people. Actresses,
musicians, babies, anyone who wants to look like the best
versions of themselves. I love to do portraits because I
feel like I can, Take what's most beautiful about a
person and really enhance that, and let them see that.
And I see that they see themselves differently. They walk
a little taller, their smile is a little brighter. They'll
carry that with them for a long time. I never
studied photography in school I got a Bachelor's of Sociology,
but as soon as I got out I followed my
instincts to make photography my life. So I started out
getting a job photo editing in a Textbook company and
then I wound up getting a mentorship with a famous
portrait photographer and she made me believe in myself that
if I really wanted this I could go after it
and I could absolutely do it and I decided to
go for it. Now I'm in a place where I'm
able to mentor people. And I do it because I
want people that have this drive to believe in themselves.
What drives me is doing meaningful work that means something
to people, and capturing that one moment that they'll always.
They'll always have that photo to go back to. They'll
always have that image of themselves to remember. And to
enjoy for the rest of their lives. [BLANK_AUDIO]
