Artist Profile: Edward Mooney | Photographer

Edward Mooney has been taking photos for almost 25 years but didn’t begin to share them with the public until 2002. 

Eddie spent his very early years in Brooklyn; so of course, he has a true love for New York City. The rest of his life has been spent on the beautiful south shore of Long Island. He feels  lucky to be surrounded by inspiring locations from New York City, to Fire Island, to the Hamptons and Montauk Point. 

He came to know that his view of the world was slightly different because of what is now known as a common ailment, dyslexia. Ed embraced it; he thinks his dyslexia helps him see things in a different way than most people. Eddie's exceptional eye and his love of the water have helped him capture some breathtaking moments.

Ed has captured some great shots from around the Northeast coast. His love of boating, bridges, lighthouses, fishing, sunrises, sunsets, flowers, and hot air ballooning can be seen throughout his work. He takes the time to study what he sees in the image. He not only pulls out colors from the image into the double/triple matting, he goes all the way out to the frame to give a finished reflection. He thinks of them as not just photos- but moments in time.
