Jessica Lehrman moved to Brooklyn in 2010 and found a place for herself, both professionally and geographically speaking.

Lehrman herself was the subject of recent a short documentary from Brooklyn-based Dutch filmmaker Bas Berkhout, the first in a series focusing on young creatives produced by online portfolio website format.com. In the film, she talks about the various threads of her life and how her upbringing helped define her as a photographer.
