SharpPhoto in Stationery Business Directory

 

My name is Ed Sharp owner and operator of SharpPhoto.com, (The online home of Ed Sharp Photography) I was born and raised in Greenwich New York and live in Greenwich today. I graduated from Rhode Island School of Photography where I was trained in Photojournalism, Commercial and Portrait Photography. I have been a working Photographer since 1985, working in many different photographic fields and specialties. After graduating from Photography School, I gained invaluable photography experience working for The Eagle, a weekly Newspaper in Cambridge, NY. Shooting local sports, events and news and developing the images in my own darkroom helped me develop the skills that I rely on today in my work. It was also my first taste of working on a deadline. Even though the deadline was only once a week. I spent quite a few years as a Wildlife and Nature Photographer, which took me to many interesting places and taught me many lessons about photography and life. I got the chance to photograph Bears & Eagles in Alaska, and spent a lot of time photographing the local, wildlife in New York State as well. Adirondack Scenic Photography was something that was also a specialty of mine, shooting the beauty of the Adirondack mountains and streams with my 4x5 View Camera. There is nothing like the color of the Adirondacks in October. I displayed and sold my Nature Photography work, at many galleries, art shows and craft fairs. In 1997 I started my web site, SharpPhoto.com, as a way to sell my Nature photography. Though I dont get the chance to do as much Nature Photography as I used to, leasing images rights to my nature photography and selling photographs of nature subjects continues to be an active part of my business. Over the years SharpPhoto.com has evolved with me as I have developed my Photography business into what it is today. I worked as a Staff Photographer for the Post Star, a daily paper in Glens Falls. This was my first taste of using professional digital photography equipment. It was love at first click. I was born to shoot digital. I welcomed the chance to be able to immediately see the results of what I was shooting and to never have to work in a darkroom with smelly chemicals again. It was also a chance to work on a very tight deadline, every day. The Post Stars Chief Photographer Monty Calvert shared with me much of his Knowledge about photography and specific photographic situations from his 30+ years at the paper. Working with editors and reporters on assignments gave me a chance to share a combined vision and play a part in telling a bigger story through images. As a Freelance Photographer I have done work for real estate companies, colleges, museums, corporate businesses, yearbook companies, galleries, and countless individual clients. My Photography has appeared various publications including News Day and Adirondack Life Magazine. Freelance Photography keeps me shooting many different subjects and situations. I enjoy the diversity that shooting freelance provides as well as the challenges, often involved. Working on my own or contracting to help fill the needs of a specific project for a client, the end goal is the same, to provide great photography to help tell a story through images . One of the main focuses of my Photography today is Sports and Event Photography. Baseball, triathlons, biathlons, running, biking, adventure races, football, soccer, track events, skiing, snow boarding, swimming, equine events, motor sports, just to name a few. If it is something people have a passion for, it is something I enjoy shooting. That is the one quality all the things I shoot have in common is the passion of the participants and spectators for their events. What brings me satisfaction is being able to capture that passion and the excitement of the day with my camera. To be able to provide images that will forever remind them of that moment in time, that special day and that special feeling. I strive to provide the best photography possible and make it available as soon as possible. I usually have the event up and online the same evening of the event. That is where my experiences working on a tight deadline have helped me. I look forward to the continuing evolution of my Photography business and to shooting even more sports & events.
