Anna and Jordan Rathkopf are the founders of RATHKOPF. It is a patient- and caregiver-led studio for insight, strategy and documentary storytelling. The studio grew from Anna's breast cancer diagnosis and Jordan's role as her care partner. It combines qualitative insight, strategy, documentary film and photography.
Anna was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer at the age of 37. The couple photographed their family's life after the diagnosis, at home, in hospital and with their son. Each of them was both the one taking pictures and the one in them. Their book HER2: The Diagnosed, The Caregiver and Their Son was published by Daylight Books in 2024. It has 132 pages. In 2025 the project was shown at Photoville.
In 2024 they received the Photographic Achievement Award from the International Photographic Council at the United Nations.
