Smith, G. B.: - Born in the industrial heartland of England, G.B. Smith began his photographic journey almost fifty years ago as a teenager in apprenticeship of traditional film techniques in both the darkroom and with large plate cameras. Today, the simplicity and deliberateness of his images reflect the mindfulness of this traditional approach, manifested in modern digital technology.

Given his industrial heritage, many of his studies gravitate toward decaying man-man structures and the appreciation of their form together with their interaction with the regenerative power of nature.

G.B. Smith is also a technology and business leader and one of the longest serving CEOs of a public company in the U.S. A truly global citizen, he now resides in Maryland, and combines extensive travel with a rekindled passion for Fine Art photography.
