The photographic works of Cheryl Jacobs Nicolai

Known for her soulful and personal approach to portraiture, Cheryl Jacobs has the unusual ability to bring out the intensity in her subjects, young and old. Her masterful use of B&W film and natural light give her prints a depth uncommon in today's digital world. Her distinctive style of fine art portraiture is instantly recognizable.

Above all, Cheryl values the opportunity to form bonds with those she photographs, believing that the portrait is simply a side effect of a strong human connection. That belief is the key to her ongoing success, which now extends to commercial and editorial work, writing, and numerous fine art projects. Her unusual printing techniques and teaching methods have been spotlighted by Kodak's ProPass Magazine, and her workshops have received rave reviews worldwide.

Publications and Exhibitions:

Cheryl's work has appeared in Kodak's ProPass magazine, Black and White Photography magazine, The Equine Chronicle, and numerous online publications. Her work has been featured in group and solo shows at The Photographer's Gallery (Denver, Colorado), Core Gallery (Denver, Colorado), and The Elevator Gallery (Toronto, Canada).
