Edward Sherman has been photographing and excited
about making images since he was fourteen years old. His photographic
groundwork includes undergraduate fine arts studies at Brooklyn College,
photographic course studies at the New School for Social Research,
under Lisette Model and over forty years of photographic activity. He is
a former United States Marine Corps photographer, awarded for
professional achievement and photographic coverage. The years Sherman
spent working as a photographic color lab technician keenly focused his
visualization and technical skills. In 1980, Sherman expanded upon his
artistic skills after completing an internship in broadcast journalism.
He then worked as a video camera operator and editor for NBC News
affiliate, WNYT in Albany, New York. The experience of videotaping and
editing a broad-spectrum of news situations and a wide range of sporting
events have helped shape Sherman’s visual story telling ability.
Among
the highlights of Sherman’s photographic journey is working as a
photographer for the New York City Police Department. Sherman’s
assignment as police commissioner Raymond Kelly’s photographer was
indeed an honor and a sign of high regard for his photographic skills.
Among Sherman’s major photographic assignments during his NYPD career
was photographing Pope Benedict XVI during his 2007 three-day visit to
New York City. After 911, the world changed and Sherman and other NYPD
photographers have had a major role in documenting the aftermath.
Sherman’s current personal photographic projects include images of
Harlem street scenes, musicians, artists and everyday urban &
rural life themes.
