The Photography of Jack Sharp

I’d never heard of Jack Sharp until just today, but I’m very glad I did.

From the site’s about page:

Jack Sharp (1928-1992), born in Harrold, Bedfordshire, UK. Moved to Geneva, Switzerland in 1955 to join CERN as an engineer and raise his family. Loved life, the outdoors and fully embraced anything he took interest in. 

Two things struck me as I was browsing his photos:

  • His use of aperture is masterful. It seems like he’s always capturing the perfect amount of context in each shot.
  • His exposures are also perfect. I find exposure to be one of the most surprisingly difficult elements to get right. His are spot on every time.
