"The Last Days of Summer" by Photographer Jack Sorokin

""The Last Days of Summer" features portraits and still lifes taken in Cognac, France in late summer. Created over a short, focused period, the images capture the emotional texture of a moment suspended between the intensity of summer and the slow pull toward fall. It is also an exploration of the fleeting energy of youth and the nostalgia that arrives as seasons shift."

"There's a tension between time and timelessness, reflected in the juxtaposition of weathered stone buildings and vibrant blooms‚ symbols of age and impermanence set against the insistence of life. The images are tied together by atmosphere, color, and a tactile sense of light and temperature. They move between intimacy and distance, personal memory and collective feeling. At its core, the project invites viewers to reflect on longing, change, and the quiet emotional weight that comes with transition."
