He seems to have his finger on the pulse of humanity, telling stories that feel like they’ve been there all along.

A Texas native, Tyler attended USC in Los Angeles, where he studied photography, film, psychology and Italian. His first photography gig out of college was in Tanzania, Africa, where he lived off the grid for six months filming and photographing safaris, and ignited a passion for finding the last frontiers. This newfound desire for adventure, combined with his passion for the outdoors, led Sharp to spend several years filming for various TV shows for the Travel, Outdoor and Sportsman Channels, taking him to over 30 countries, and on countless adventures.
