About Artist

Rob Smith

Trying to capture a unique view of our world is difficult when virtually everyone has a camera. A pretty picture is common but photography as a work of Art is not. Countless hours and countless subjects and countless images are required to produce a special image that is truly a Work of Art. While an artist can paint or sculpt what his mind’s eye sees. a photographer may see great images among chaos. Eliminating that chaos is the Art when the camera is all seeing. This is the challenge that motivates me and I hope my work expresses this vision to the viewer.
