Wildlife portrait photographer from the UK. My web site: sharp photography
I have been lucky enough to travel to many places outside the UK with camera in hand. Memories are easier to recall when you have a picture to remind you. Here are some 120 of mine.
I have published a photographic guide to the butterflies of Ghana which is available as a free download. A print version will be published later in 2026.
You can access downloadable pdf versions by visiting the A Sharp Eye onwildlife photography page.
The following link is to the children's edition of the December 2024 issue of A Sharp Eye on Wildlife Photography on Oceania.
Please feel free to use any of the wildlife photos that I have uploaded, most of which are used in Wikipedia articles, with attribution Charles J Sharp. Please remember that images uploaded before 2020 may not have been processed with the latest software. I can quickly re-process them for you.
Here are my own favourites, my Commons Featured pictures (678 from 91 countries), Quality images and Valued images
The animals were not photographed in zoos, safari parks, rescue centres, butterfly houses, in captivity or in a studio.
Many of the images are geocoded with very precise geocodes (six decimal places). Please do not take account of more than two decimal places.
