Christian Esherick is a writer and photographer working between New York and Los Angeles. His work explores how economic pressure, cultural change, and the rise of a digital world reshape identity, youth, and family in contemporary America. He considers how meaning and virtue might be rebuilt amid forces that distort, erode, or re-route our relationship to ourselves and the physical world.
He is the founder and creative director of Sasha Sorel, where he leads all photography, creative direction, and design. He studied literature and politics at the University of Notre Dame, and his research and writing have informed work for UNICEF’s Giga Initiative, partners at Andreessen Horowitz, and the Studio of Cole Sternberg, amongst other institutional and creative clients.
His photographic work, focused on atmosphere and the evolving mythologies of American life and environments, continues his interest in how modern conditions imprint themselves on everyday life and physical experience. His work has been shown at Frieze Los Angeles, the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Magazine, Forever Magazine, and includes ongoing visual development for Sasha Sorel.
