In 1992, he traveled to Africa on a Fulbright scholarship in order to document Sudanese refugee camps in northern Kenya. The son of a Kenyan father and an American mother, Sheikh had spent many summers in Nairobi with his father's extended family and became interested in the experiences of refugees in that area. Once he began photographing in the Kenyan camps, he decided to study camps in the surrounding countries of Ethiopia, Somalia, Mozambique, and Rwanda. When his photographs from this project were first exhibited in 1994, they attracted immediate attention and launched his career. Over the next few years, he received many honors for his photography, including the 1994 ICP Infinity Award for Young Photographer, the 1995 Leica Medal of Excellence, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in 1994, and a MacArthur Fellowship in 2005.

His inclusion of the edges of the negative in his sepia-toned finished prints imparts warmth and intimacy to his work.
