Ed Shpritz Photography

For me, photography is not about recording what is in front of the camera. It is about discovering what others may pass by. Whether I am photographing wildlife at sunrise, the streets of Chicago, architecture, a beloved pet, or a quiet moment between people, I am drawn to images that tell a story, evoke emotion, or reveal beauty in the ordinary.

Over the years, my work has been recognized with awards in juried photography competitions and has appeared in editorial publications, including Crain’s Chicago Business. While I appreciate the recognition, my greatest satisfaction comes from creating photographs that make people pause, look a little longer, and perhaps see something they hadn’t noticed before.

My goal is simple: to create photographs that encourage us to slow down, look closer, and see more. After a lifetime of caring for patients as an optometrist, photography has become another way of helping people see the beauty of the world.

Special thanks to my grandson, Brady, for bringing this website to life.

Less… is always more!
