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.
