Richard Sherman is a full-time professional photographer specializing in nature and nautical images. As a former Navy officer, and a recreational sailor, his images often feature water elements. He makes attentive use of space and light to create peaceful and tranquil images of seascapes, landscapes, and other nature subjects. He is perhaps best-known for his imagery of small boats and sailing, and his work has appeared in Classic Boat and Yachts International magazines and the cover of Caribbean Compass (October 2019).
