AUTHOR
G.B. Smith’s photography journey began over 40 years ago as a teenager learning the fundamentals of the craft in the darkroom and with large plate cameras. This enthusiasm evolved into a first career as an industrial photographer in England.
This early interest in photography was matched by his passion for emerging communication technologies and entrepreneurship which eventually led him down a path of discovery and exploration in countries and cultures throughout the world. A truly global citizen, having lived on four continents and worked in six, he now resides in Maryland, USA and combines extensive global travel with a passion for Fine Art photography.
His award winning images have been published in a wide range of media and he is a lifelong member of the Royal Photographic Society.
“I endeavor to take the viewer through a journey of the image, using light to illuminate patterns and forms as signposts along a pathway between spaces. My interpretation and initial field visualizations are based on these visual flows. The critical aspect I look for in any canvass is the ability to provide enough space and visual context to facilitate focus on the subject in its purest shape. In essence, I try to distill the scene down to its uncluttered form and flows, to simplify the pathways.
Therefore, I use only black and white and mostly minimalist imagery, believing profoundly that less is indeed more.”
