Workshop Participant Highlight: Eric Smith
Eric Smith is an emerging fine-art photographer based in Newburyport, Mass. He is also a left-brained engineer who has wandered around New England and other parts of the globe attempting to use both sides of his brain to crop the world through a lens and viewfinder. He is particularly interested in capturing images that aren’t seen readily by the human eye. As an example, images made with long exposures, double exposures, composite images, and exposures using infrared light.
Eric’s work strives to draw attention to contrasting textures, mysterious light and shadows, and obscured shapes involving the human form. He first started photographing the fine art nude over 20 years ago among the sandy dunes of Massachusetts’ Cape Cod. Today, the backgrounds for his images span a range of environments across the US and abroad from studio to outdoor landscapes.
