Meryl
Spiegel is a Long Island photographer who portrays the people and
landscape around her whether she is at home on the East End, roaming
Manhattan or traveling abroad. Her subjects range from street life
to seascapes to still life. Working primarily with a medium-format
camera and color film, her images look more like paintings than photographs.
She
has exhibited widely throughout the East End at a variety of venues
including Parrish Art Museum, St. Joseph’s College, Ashawagh
Hall, Levitas Center, Remsenburg Academy, Quogue Library, and East
End Arts Council where she was awarded “Best in Show."
Her photo essays have appeared in The Southampton Review
published by Stony Brook University. She has also received several
grants from NYFA - the New York Foundation for the Arts.
Ms.
Spiegel studied photography at the International Center of Photography
(ICP) and the Center for Media Studies in Manhattan as well as the
Image-Ouverte School of Photography in the South of France. She is
also a writer with a Master of Fine Arts in English & Writing.
