Craig Sharp's photostream
|
Righty.... I thought it was about time to update this profile thing... so here we go..
A little about me...
I have been into photography since 2005.. but looking back over the years I have always owned a camera and always took pictures.. But it never really occurred to me that it would one day be a big part of my life.
In 2008 I brought my first DSLR and just practiced.. everyday, all the time. My main test subjects are my 4 children who are the most important people in my life.

I used to be very shy..not just in front of the camera.. but in general too. I decided to start a flickr 365 project to overcome this phobia... and it was the best thing I ever did regarding photography.
I learnt so much and gained amazing amounts of confidence.. it really was an amazing journey. I found I had a great passion for photoshop and loved creating weird and interesting images. I am completely self taught and have never had a lesson in my life. I am still yet to read the manual to my camera !

During my 365 project I had a crazy idea that I would quit my job and make a living from photography.. it was a struggle for the first year..but know looking back it has been amazing.
I am now a full time photographer, and I love it.
While my photoshop stuff is just for fun, my main focus is wedding photography and portraits. They are what pay the bills. You can follow us on facebook RIGHT HERE

If you like my work and would like a print or some prints then I am always happy to arrange a print swap.. I have done lots before and am proud to say I have a lot of amazing images on display around my home thanks to my amazing friends here on flickr. If you wish to buy artwork from me then you can visit my gallery at RedBubble, there is a small selection on there for sale. If there is some art you dont see then a quick flickrmail and it can be added for you.

"I can`t believe after all this years, I haven`t written a testimonial for mr.Sharp. The entire experience, I can call it and experience because it is...is unbelievably and amazing, fun and moving. Craig, understands and knows the cure for Explore and has the key for a perfect image... he`s a finished product, ready to get the camera and make the impossible. I`m glad that I came across Craig on flickr...and I can say he has to be one of the best here!
Sharp I hope we`ll see a lot more from you...."6th September, 2011

"I cant remember how I first met Craig on Flickr, but this guy is amazing and also a great friend.
His Photoshop work is inspirational, and I am sure we will have many collaborations over the years.
I have met a lot of Flickr and Facebook friends over the last couple of years, some of them have one thing in common they know Mr Sharp.
Craig has been known to stay up all night chatting to people and helping people with there Photographic problems and even some of life's problems.
There are not many great genuine people in this world, but Craig is one and I am proud to call him a friend. I wish him and his family well and all the best for his busy photographic future, cant wait to see his name up there as Wedding Photographer of the Year.
Wedding Photography is not all about money its about passion and creating the whole photographic experience for the Bride and Groom and that is what Craig and his team are all about. Good Luck Bud."3rd February, 2011

"Okay. I’m in a testimonial Mood these days..
So here we go. :D
Craig’s really one of the coolest guys on flickr.
And he is one lucky dude. He can be photographer for living! I am quite jealous about that fact because you can’t be full-time photographer here in Austria without having made a masters certificate in photography. and that’s quite expensive and time consuming. Well whatever.. that’s another part of the story… back to craig! (lol that rhymed!!!) I really like that he puts so much work into his manipulations and especially his “blow aways” keep me always wondering how the hell he coold do them! :D
Hope you’re going to share a lot more work with us and even more important that you and your family stay safe and healthy! :-)"20th January, 2011

"His stream is one of the first I saw when I decided to open a Flickr account...I really felt in love with it. Really, I can't be tired of waiting for new uploads from this great guy! Are you looking for creative images? You are in the right place. Are you looking for damn funny pics? You are in the right place. Are you looking for superb portraits? You are in the right place. Are you looking for NOT-boring weddings photographs? You are in the right place. Are you looking for the King of photoshop?? You are in the right place. Are you looking for something that blowns your f***ing minds away?? Well dear visitor, you definitely are in the right place."

"This man, Craig, is not just a woderful, excellent and creative artist...
He's the source of my inspiration and he knows it! Even if his work has nothing to do with whatever I'm going to do, most of the time seeing his pictures and reading his descriptions gives me lots of nice ideas! I feel lucky to have found him during his past 365 just because I can't imagine of someone who does this kind of work like him, he has a different and randomly stream, which I consider PERFECT!
I look forward to each of his uploads, EVERYONE should do it actually haha. And I also want to thank him for being nice with me, for helping me with some tips, and for letting me have a 'go' on two pictures he did .
Things you should not do:
-Please we all know about some (*&^&^%^#@! who copied his work without his authorization and even wrote the same descriptions. pleeeeaaase if you want to try something he did every once in a while, let him know, he would not bother at all. What makes him swear a lot ( even me if someone does that ) is the people who copy work and don't give credits or even have an honorable mention.
Thanks for all that you have done Craig :)"8th May, 2010

"He might swear a lot, he wears a baseball cap to be "down with the kids", he has a faux attitude with his missus (but we all know she is the boss!)
But spend a few moment looking through his photos and you will be completely drawn into some outstanding photoshopped images with plently of subtle hints of sarcasm and humour
He's a great contact to have, happy to discuss techniques (more Adobe related than sexual, which is good)
Oh and you gotta fave his stuff, his ego is like that crazy big plant in the little shop of horror... constantly hungry!!"6th May, 2010

"Craig is quite an old contact, and not once has he faded away and forgotten me. He is probably one of the most loyal contacts I have, even when I am useless and vanish for days! (Sorry!) When I think about it, Craig has the excuse of not seeing me on the contact page, but no! He never ceases to spot my work and leave me a lovely message. Where as I have no excuse because he is doing a 365!!!! Which leads me onto my next point about Craig..
He is very VERY talented :) The work that flows out of his photostream is utterly amazing, he always manages to come up with a new and original idea every single day, I really have no idea how!!! I hope that he doesn't get his own back and do a vanishing act on me after his 365 (2 days to go!!!!!!!!!)
Craig is a fantastic person, a fabulous photographer and a flipping good photoshopper. He is completely original. And I admire that a great deal."29th March, 2010

"craig!
let's see. hmmmm.
craig is an artist.
craig is one of the most obsessive/compulsive(in a good way) creative people i flickr-know. his stream is "brill" (his words). he pushes himself to learn which i admire and can relate to. and his creations are meticulously produced.
besides all of this, he is a generous flickr friend. he has taken time out during his day to reach out and personally teach me how to accomplish my obsessive/compulsive yearnings with photoshop.
thank you craig."24th March, 2010
