About[edit]
Smith found his love for nature as well as a commitment to conveying the beauty he sees and feels in nature during his early childhood trips to his house in Warren, Vermont. He credits Russell Hart,[1] former executive editor of American Photo[2] and former senior editor of Popular Photography[2] for introducing him to photography and helping him develop his historical, technical and aesthetic views that are central to his body of work.
Photography[edit]
Smith's photographs study the intimate details of nature by favoring elements in a scene's middle distance rather than the grand view. His influences range from Ansel Adams to Robert Adams, Eliot Porter to Lewis Baltz, though he recognizes American landscape painter Thomas Cole and his middle distance paintings[3] as his greatest influence to his aesthetic approach. The importance of the middle distance is demonstrated in Smith's photo, In Bloom,[4] demonstrates a connection to the landscape and the importance of isolating details in opens spaces.[5]Smith's compositions show the natural world at its most alluring by using bold colors, photographing in various weather conditions, and capturing photographs in dramatic light. His compositions favor the geometry, lines, and structure of the landscape to heighten and transform the image in order to get the viewer to look at the photograph in a different way. Smith photographs favor Minimalism[6] by simplifying the pictorial elements in the frame and blending the details of nature into abstraction. Inspired by Impressionism, the process known as blurring or painting with light uses camera motion to deliberately blur and eliminate distracting elements in a scene in order to emphasize the texture, lines, light, and essence of the subject[7]
