Alison Shaw has been a photographer all of her life and has lived on Martha's Vineyard for most of that time. She grew up in the DC area, but she was a "summer kid" on the Vineyard, visiting her grandparents in Edgartown every summer. After graduating from Smith College in 1975, she came to the Island "just for the summer," and never left.

Alison's photography career began with Vineyard Gazette as a freelancer, shooting exclusively black & white photos, and began showing those photos at art galleries in the early 80s. She developed quite a following, with Gazette readers looking forward to seeing her photos in the paper every week. In 2000 Alison left the Gazette and put all of her energy into Alison Shaw Photography.

Her work has evolved from documentary to abstract, and now she's fascinated by abstracting the scenes she'd always shot in the early years, using her camera to literally paint with light. Over 10,000 of Alison's original fine art prints are in public and private collections, in addition to 20 books of her work.
