ABOUT the artist

Dr. Mark Sorrentino is a dedicated pediatric physician, pioneering clinical researcher, and passionate mentor. Yet, his most profound journey began outside the hospital walls, following a life-altering cancer diagnosis. As he faced his own battle, he turned to photography as a source of solace, transforming early morning excursions into moments of peace amid the turbulence of treatment. What began as a meditative hobby soon evolved into a powerful tool for self-discovery and healing, offering him a deeper sense of clarity and purpose.

Now in remission, Dr. Sorrentino's work with Reflective Lens Co. merges his lifelong devotion to medicine with his passion for photography, presenting a unique perspective that sees photography as a form of medicine. He organizes his art around the stages of healing—Acknowledgement, Understanding, Acceptance, Release, and Rebuilding—each image capturing a moment of his recovery and inviting viewers to engage in their own healing journey. Through this lens, Dr. Sorrentino's photographs become more than art; they serve as windows to tranquility, offering moments of mindfulness, reflection, and transformation.

Using world-class equipment like the Fujifilm GFX100 and the Leica Monochrom M11, he captures the subtle beauties of the world with technical mastery. However, the images showcased on his website are chosen not for their technical brilliance alone but for the emotions they evoke and the therapeutic qualities they embody. Each selected work reflects the medicinal-like power photography holds, aiming to guide others toward peace and self-awareness.

We invite you to explore Dr. Sorrentino’s gallery on the Reflective Lens Co. website, where every photograph is a window to healing and an invitation to find balance and mindfulness through the art of photography.
