Sheridan Smith is a New York–based photographer and writer covering culture, politics, and social life. She works as an independent photojournalist and a narrative-driven photographer of nightlife and social spaces. Her work presents an inquiry into personhood through the visual form, operating in the liminal space between portrayal and reportage.

​

She has reported on Venezuelan migration in Lima, ethical tourism in Rio de Janeiro, the New York City mayoral election, psychedelic research, and responsible AI governance. She is currently based in New York, where she documents nightlife and cultural events.

​

Sheridan graduated from New York University, where she designed a degree focused on the ethics of visual journalism in the digital age. She writes a column for the National Press Photographers Association and has assisted on assignments for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and National Geographic.
