Chef Kwame Onwuachi photographed for Washington Post at his restaurant Tatiana behind the chains design element that evokes the chain-link fences he climbed as a child.

Chris Sorensen is a New York editorial and fine art portraitist who escaped the corporate world and was lucky to find photography where I can make art that helps keep me sane these days. The pandemic project I made with my amazing wife - entitled Wife During Quarantine appropriately enough - is now a book available here. Clients have included American Way, Hemispheres, ESPN the Magazine, MONEY, Wine Spectator, Popular Mechanics, The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, Washington Post Magazine, and InStyle.
