Sherlin Photography

With over two decades of dedicated service in the field of psychology and counseling, Leslie Sherlin, PhD has consistently demonstrated a profound commitment to understanding the human mind. This extensive experience has uniquely positioned him to embark on a parallel journey as a student of photography, a passion he has fervently pursued for nearly a decade.

Dr. Sherlin's photographic odyssey began with a deep-seated fascination for underwater landscapes, where he sought to memorialize the natural splendor of some of the world's most exotic waters. This initial foray into the art form marked the inception of a creative exploration that has only grown in depth and breadth.

In 2019, he formally began to hone his photographic skills by pursuing a graduate degree in photography from the Academy of Art University, a transformative experience that provided him with a structured foundation and a platform to refine his artistic expression.

At the core of Dr. Sherlin's creative endeavors lies a profound passion for the intersection of psychological experience and visual storytelling. Through his chosen medium of fine art photography, he often utilizes lyrical documentary to illuminate the intricate tapestry of human emotions and mental states. Each frame captures not only the aesthetic essence of his subject matter but also delves into the nuanced layers of the human psyche.

In his most recent bodies of work, he infuses his compositions with a purposeful intent—to offer validation and solace to individuals grappling with psychologically distressing experiences. By artfully weaving together the visual and the emotional, he endeavors to dismantle societal stigmas surrounding mental health. Through this powerful visual narrative, he seeks to foster compassion and understanding, providing viewers with poignant glimpses into the complex terrain of mental well-being.

Dr. Sherlin's unique fusion of academic prowess in psychology and his burgeoning passion in photography represent a harmonious convergence of two worlds. Through his art, he invites us to embark on a transformative journey, urging us to contemplate the intricate threads that connect our emotional landscapes to the broader human experience.
