Cheryl Clegg is an American photographer based in the Boston area. She is known for her documentary portrait projects and for commercial work that has appeared in local newspapers, books, and exhibitions in the northeastern United States.
Career
Clegg began working as a photographer in the 1990s, building a practice that blends editorial, commercial, and documentary work. Her projects often explore people and communities in transition.
In 2022, she began a series called The Endangered Lobstermen, photographing families in Maine and New Hampshire whose livelihoods are affected by regulatory and environmental changes. The work was featured on News Center Maine’s program 207 and covered by the Penobscot Bay Pilot, which described it as an attempt to “put a human face” on the challenges facing coastal industries.[1][2]
Her photographs have also been displayed publicly. In 2024, a series of community portraits she created in Port Clyde, Maine, was installed in a local ferry terminal. The Boston Globe covered the exhibition as part of a broader story about the town’s recovery from storm damage.[3]
Clegg’s work has also appeared in print. She contributed a portrait of chef Nick DiGiovanni for his author listing with Penguin Random House, and her images have been published in the Newton Tab, a local Massachusetts newspaper.[4]
Recognition
Clegg was a finalist in the 2020 Critical Mass competition organized by Photolucida, and in 2018 she received second place in the “Faces” contest held by the American Society of Media Photographers.[5]
