Sean Sheridan is a photojournalist and author who for the last 16 years has been shooting and writing stories that elevate people and brands. Sheridan has a bachelor of science degree in journalism from the William Allen White School of Journalism at the University of Kansas.

In July 2002, Sheridan started 4:Minute.Media to tell compelling stories through feature writing, photography, film, and publishing. His work has taken him to nearly 60 countries and has been found in SMITHSONIAN magazine and on the cover of The Washington Times, countless development agencies and gallery exhibitions, Testimony Africa—his book about the terrible beauty of AIDS, genocide, and hunger in Africa—and most recently Wahl STORY, his book about renowned graffiti artist Erik Wahl. Sheridan and his family live in Colorado.

Central Africa Republic

Recently I traveled to Central Africa Republic (yes, I know, no one knows where it is but as you might guess, it’s in central Africa) on assignment for MercyCorps. Many great things came out of this shoot, like the cover shot and Alphonsine’s story in A Girl Can that MercyCorps published. Here are a few of the images from the shoot:

CAR has been in turmoil since I left. You can read about the MercyCorps staff having to flee and their subsequent return. When I think of people doing a GREAT job in the developing world, MercyCorps is right at the top of my list. I love you guys!

All photos taken by me with funds provided by MercyCorps.

CC Hockey

When I am in town, and when CC Hockey is playing at home, I shoot the games. It’s great fun and a nice break from international travel. Here is one I liked from last weekend against Denver University.

Angelic

I am a bit fascinated right now with shooting inanimate objects; I like the idea of shooting them as if they were really living objects. Here’s one I did awhile back that recently re-caught my attention: a wooden angel at First Presbyterian Church in Colorado Springs.
