Cheryl Machat Dorskind (born 1955) is an American fine-art photographer, writer, and educator who lives and works in Westhampton, New York.
Born in 1955, Machat Dorskind grew up in Roslyn Harbor, New York and graduated from Roslyn High School in 1973. She attended Washington University in St. Louis for the first year and a half of her college studies and graduated, cum laude, in June 1977 from Boston University with a Bachelor of Science degree in marketing. From 1978 to 1982, she was a Product Manager for Epic, Portrait, & The Associated Labels (then part of CBS, Inc. and now under the Sony Music umbrella) in New York City where she managed Pop music and R&B legends that included Dan Hartman, Karla DeVito, Patti LaBelle, The O'Jays, and Billy Ocean. While there she received two Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified gold records in recognition of her important contribution to music marketing.
In 1982, Cheryl Machat married Glenn Dorskind, left Epic Records, and returned to her own artistic interests. Like many other photographers, she became involved in the photography of children when she had children of her own. Her daughter Nicole was born in 1986; her second daughter Joelle was born in 1991. Her experience with her own children resulted in a freelance career focusing primarily on children's portraits, and eventually in a book, The Art of Photographing Children, published in 2005.
Cheryl Machat Dorskind has been involved in a number of community service programs in the Greater Westhampton Beach Community. She has served as an Honorary Board Member for the Suffolk County Coalition Against Domestic Violence since 1989.
As a photo-artist, Dorskind is best known for her handpainted photographs or photopaintings, predominantly of landscapes and of children, in which she applies washes of oil paints and glazes of watercolors and pastels, a technique she has worked out experimentally over time. Since 1989 she has continued to exhibit her photography annually. Machat Dorskind was an associate professor at Southampton College (Long Island University) from 1994–2000 in the Fine Art department where she taught photography (Introductory and Intermediate Darkroom, Independent Study and BFA) to both majors and non-majors. She also taught at the Southampton Masters Workshop Series in July 1991, 1994, 1996, and 1999 and at the Maine Photographic Workshops in July 2001. Presently she is an assistant professor at Suffolk County Community College teaching digital photography. Online she teaches and mentors an international clientele at the Perfect Picture School of Photography since 2006.
In 2005, Machat Dorskind began writing the newspaper column, "Picture This," for The Southampton Press. Additionally, she has authored two photography books, The Art of Photographing Children, ©2005 (Watson-Guptill Publications), and The Art of Handpainting Photographs, ©1998 (Watson-Guptill Publications). Both books were received with critical acclaim and The Art of Handpainting Photographs is considered by Watson-Guptill Publications "the definitive guide to traditional methods of handpainting photographs." With the publication of The Art of Handpainting Photographs, Machat Dorskind coined the phrases "handpainted" and "photopainting," to draw attention to the fact that both aspects of the finished print are equally important: both the photograph and the color overlay are two integral parts of a unified whole. Prior to her book's 1998 publication, the process was known as colorization, or as tinted or hand-tinted.
Street photography is photography conducted for art or inquiry that features unmediated chance encounters and random incidents within public places, usually with the aim of capturing images at a decisive or poignant moment by careful framing and timing. Although there is a difference between street and candid photography, it is usually subtle with most street photography being candid in nature and some candid photography being classifiable as street photography. Street photography does not necessitate the presence of a street or even the urban environment. Though people usually feature directly, street photography might be absent of people and can be of an object or environment where the image projects a decidedly human character in facsimile or aesthetic.

Neo Ntsoma is a South African photographer known for her photojournalism, portraiture, music and popular culture photography. Born in Vryburg and brought up in the rural areas of Mafikeng in the North West Province, her fascination about films was triggered at an early age. Growing up in the apartheid era and seeing the negative portrayal images of black South Africans and the lack of participation of black women in a media industry dominated by white males, this reinvigorated her to want to make change, however it was not an easy dream to fulfill due to race restrictions at the time. Ntsoma attended St Mary's High School where she would be introduced to music, dance and drama, this is where she knew her career path was different from her peers. Despite several setbacks throughout her life she kept on pursuing her dream of being a photographer and succeeded.

Besides being a photographer she has become an enthusiastic mentor for young photojournalists.
