Sheridan Smith is a photographer, editor, scholar, and journalist. She is currently working as a photo editor with Reach Plc, and a narrative-driven nightlife photographer in New York City. Her work presents an inquiry into personhood through the visual form, with a recent journalistic focus on climate, psychedelic research, the fentanyl crisis, and responsible AI governance.​ Sheridan graduated from NYU with a self-designed degree in photojournalism, concentrating on ethics in the digital age. These themes carry into her work as she creates images in the liminal space between portrayal and reportage. In addition to freelancing, Sheridan writes a column in the NPPA's newsletter and regularly assists assignments for The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and National Geographic.
