KERRI  SHERMAN

A film editor in a previous life (before kids), Kerri’s’ passion continues behind the lens.  Her commercial work spans from interiors and portraits in Sheridan Road magazine, food photography for businesses and restaurants in the city and north shore, product photography from factories to florists, and fine art commissions.

Kerri loves the story telling component of photography:  documenting and deconstructing all that is relevant to your family or business. She also teaches kids and adults basic shooting and editing instruction in small groups – encouraging all to enjoy improving their photos, and printing in creative ways.

Capturing the details fuels Kerri – from the streets of soulful New Orleans, inside gritty industrial spaces of a factory, the isolated beauty of one petal in a field of botanicals, to the innocence and wonder of a child’s smile –  these elements of emotion and texture bring Kerri’s work to life.
