About
Photo: Dina Litovsky
Sheridan K Smith is a photographer, photo editor, and reporter based in New York City and California. With a recent focus on urban parenthood, climate change, psychedelic research, the fentanyl crisis, and income inequality, Sheridan's work presents an inquiry into personhood through the visual form.
Sheridan graduated from NYU with a self-designed degree in photojournalism, concentrating on ethics and the digital age. These themes carry into her work as she creates images in the liminal space between portrayal and reportage. In addition to her own freelance work, Sheridan also regularly assists Dina Litovsky, Natalie Keyssar, and Katie Orlinsky on assignment for The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and National Geographic.
