Photographer
Sherrie Nickol captures relationships, environments, and everyday life, both intimate and public. Her inaugural book, self-titled Sherrie Nickol (Hirmer Publishers), takes us on a journey through time and place. This stunning new release organizes scenes of familiarity, domesticity, public spaces, and private life into five distinct sections. It will be available for purchase in August 2024 in the EU/UK and September 2024 in the United States.
Through portraiture and street photography, Nickol has developed a body of work demonstrating her knack for capturing beauty in everyday domesticity and urban life as part of a crowd, the essence of narrative in every photograph. Scenes have no definable era but evoke the mood of a bygone decade.
Sherrie Nickol takes us through five distinct sections, each separate but always in conversation with one another.
In Between-Teen, Nickol spent time stealthily observing her son and his friends and the awkward metamorphosis of their teenage years. The result is a sometimes candid, raw portrait of youth captured with sincerity.
By the Water and
Crowdscapes explores public privacy, individuals going about their daily life, some posing, some unaware of their picture being taken, oscillating between urban photography and portraiture. By the Water captures the carefree feeling of summer, as celebrated across the world. Photographs from this project span the seaside towns of Brittany in France to Brighton Beach in Brooklyn, focusing on the intimacy of families, friends, and lovers breaking with their routines and swarming toward the water.

The
In the Moment photographs combine the candid with the personal as narrative events unfold throughout the imagery in this portrait of families and friends in public places. A girl cries as mud is washed from her clothing at a public tap, friends head to a prom-like event, and a toddler looks beyond the camera with speculation.
In
Face to Face, the final section, Nickol documents the lives of women from an early age as they navigate the world around them. Mostly portraits, these images exhibit gentleness and a quietude that exhibit the elegance with which Nickol collaborates with and treats her subjects.
