MJ Sharp

Digital Design
MJ Sharp has been a documentary photographer for much of the last two decades, working primarily in North Carolina and her native Tennessee and freelancing both locally and nationally. In recent years she began photographing almost exclusively with a large-format bellows camera and has been exploring night landscapes both near (her backyard) and far (Monument Valley) ever since. The resulting work was included in the invitational show, Landscape at the Limit, guest curated by Jonathan Stuhlman of the Mint Museum at Second Street Gallery in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2007. In 2008 some of that body of night work and an interview about the techniques used to produce it was included in Jill Waterman's book, Night and Low Light Photography.
Recently MJ has turned her attention to long-exposure, low-light scenes even closer to home (her kitchen sink). She earned her MFA from UNC-Chapel Hill in 2007. Samples of her work are online at www.mjsharp.com.
