SHARIF R. BIRTON
ARTIST. PHOTOGRAPHER. CINEMATOGRAPHER
Hello, my name is Sharif. I'm a visual artist who specializes in photography, cinematography, and color. My work focuses on creating refined, editorial imagery through intentional lighting, composition, and skin tones.
With a background in digital cinematography and digital marketing, I approach every project with both an artistic eye and an understanding of how powerful imagery communicates, connects, and leaves an impression.
U.S ARMY VETERAN
2021-2025
I served in the United States Army as a 56M Religious Affairs Specialist from 2021 to 2025. During my time in service, I made the decision to pursue my passion for visual storytelling, beginning my education at Full Sail University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Digital Cinematography.
I later continued my education by earning a Master of Science in Digital Marketing, expanding my understanding of not only how to create compelling imagery, but also how to position, communicate, and build an audience around my creative work.
My military service, education, and experience as an artist have each shaped the way I approach my work today with discipline, intention, creativity, and purpose.
THE SIGNATURE LOOK
My work is built around intentional color, refined skin tones, and a polished editorial finish. Every image is shaped to feel distinctive while remaining true to the subject.
ARTISTRY + TECHNIQUE
Photography and cinematography are more than just capturing an image. I combine lighting, composition, color, and post-production to create work with purpose from capture to final image.
