Sean Hemmerle Portrait Photography
American, b. 1966
Sean Hemmerle was born in 1966 in Tempe. Hemmerle is a New York based photographer whose work ranges from international conflict zones to deserted industrial towns in the United States. After serving in the U.S. Army, he attended the University of Miami and earned an MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 1997. His conflict images span over 10 years, beginning with the World Trade Center collapse and continuing with sites such as Kabul, Baghdad, Gaza, Juarez and Beirut. Closer to home, Hemmerle has created award-winning photographs that reflect the pathos and poetry of U.S. Rust Belt areas in Detroit, Pittsburgh, Toledo, Gary and Albany.

In Sean Hemmerle’s poignant photographic series “THEM”, a portrait series of Iraqis and Afghans.
Each subject is portrayed frontally with no direction from the artist, allowing the individuals photographed to (re)present themselves. After witnessing the 9/11 attacks Hemmerle felt another response to these events was necessary and travelled to Afghanistan and Iraq where he shot a series of portraits. His resulting images are compassionate studies of people under attack by his own government.
The past five days out of Kabul were enlightening. Initially, the purpose of my adventure was to photograph the battlefields, minefields, and remaining architecture of a country surviving more than 20 consecutive years of warfare. A Mujahideen soldier who had served in the north under Ahmad Shah...
