JACK DESORMIER
PHOTOGRAPHER & VIDEOGRAPHER
I am a Connecticut-based photographer and videographer with a passion for local history and artisanal products.
Many historical locations are preserved by local governments, yet they can easily fade from the memories of residents. I find joy in capturing and sharing photos of these older settings, as they often evoke nostalgia and spark meaningful connections. Through my work, I aim to strengthen the bond between neighbors and their shared community.
I love capturing the work of local artisans. It's one thing to make a great product, but the craftsmanship that goes into producing a piece — the material, attention to detail, and maintaining a sense of purpose beyond sales — is what most excites me.
My first mentor was 35mm black-and-white film. Although flexible, the medium taught me how to best compose and expose in order to make each frame count. After years of exclusively shooting and developing film, I’ve expanded into a digital workflow, unlocking new creative possibilities while maintaining my film-inspired attention to detail.
My career has taken me through many avenues—broadcast news, A/V event solutions, advertisements, documentaries, and reality TV. Along with a friendly demeanor, I bring competence and the ability to thrive in a variety of environments. I look forward to making wonderful images with you.
