Bio

Sherry Keene is a fine art photographer and visual storyteller whose work explores the interplay of light, architecture, and the ephemeral moments that define human experience. Her photography captures quiet, introspective journeys through European landscapes and urban spaces, particularly the evocative cities of Venice, Paris, Budapest, and beyond. A native of the United States and a long-time resident of Europe, Sherry draws inspiration from both classical art and contemporary design. Her background in graphic design and advertising infuses her photography with a unique sensibility—balancing bold composition with nuanced visual storytelling. Each image is carefully composed to reveal not only the subject but also its inherent mood, history, and emotional resonance. Sherry’s signature style leans into dramatic contrasts and atmospheric light, often capturing scenes at dawn, dusk, or under moody skies. Her series, Venetian Lightscapes, embodies this approach—where light becomes both the subject and the medium, shaping ancient stone structures and framing fleeting human moments. Whether capturing a solitary gondolier emerging from shadow or the quiet embrace of figures framed by Venetian arches, her work invites viewers into a layered conversation between light and memory. Her photographic journey has earned her recognition in respected publications such as 1x.com, Coral Ave, Taurus, Artells, and Club Noir, where she has been named Photographer of the Year. Her work has been featured on front and back covers of magazines and exhibited in juried competitions. Mentored by celebrated photographers like Serge Ramelli, Mimo Meidany, and Scott Kelby, Sherry continues to refine her craft, pushing the boundaries of fine art photography while honoring the traditions of her mentors. Currently based in Europe, Sherry continues to pursue her passion for photography, focusing on fine art collections, photography books, and potential future exhibitions. In Venetian Lightscapes, she invites viewers to slow down, to observe the dance of light against the textures of stone, and to reflect on the silent stories whispered by the city’s canals and bridges. Through her photography, Sherry seeks not only to capture the visual beauty of a place but to evoke the emotions, histories, and subtle narratives that lie beneath the surface. Her work is a testament to the enduring power of light to shape perception, to carve meaning, and to connect us to both place and moment.
