I’m Sherri Kauk, an Emmy Award–winning cinematographer working across film, television, and documentary. My work moves fluidly between intimate, character-driven stories and projects that reach audiences at scale—across phones, television, and cinema screens.
I’ve photographed long-running series like The Chi, global releases such as Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and independent features that have traveled internationally through major festival circuits. Whether the audience is millions or a single room, my focus remains the same: building visual trust that allows emotional truth to surface.
What connects my work is not genre or platform, but proximity. I’m drawn to stories where the camera becomes a listener—where restraint, pacing, and point of view shape the experience as much as dialogue or design. I specialize in entering established worlds, honoring what already works, and evolving the visual language without breaking trust.
My projects span scripted drama, unscripted series, and independent cinema. They are unified by a commitment to authorship within collaboration—images that serve narrative first, and scale without losing intimacy.
