About Jim Smith

Jim Smith I have always had a great interest in the visual arts and finally decided to pursue photography in my mid-thirties in the early 1980’s. At that time, color photography had begun supplanting black & white for serious work in the photographic realm and I followed the trend. However, as I pursued my self-taught studies, the world of black & white began to intrigue me more and more. I was greatly influenced by the images of Ansel Adams, Walker Evans, Russell Lee, Margaret Bourke-White and Dorothea Lange. After shooting 35 mm for several years, I acquired a medium format camera and expanded my horizons. This eventually led to the acquisition of a large format field camera for serious black and white work.

As I increased my photographic knowledge and skills, I became interested in the other half of the photographic process, the darkroom. I have had a working darkroom since 1992 and in addition to processing my own film and prints, I printed for a fashion photographer for over 10 years. When that photographer gravitated to digital I decided to follow them while continuing my work with film. I became proficient in the necessary PhotoShop skills to enable me to retouch and print in the digital world.

I have now established a workflow that incorporates both film and digital. I continue to print traditionally in the darkroom, while also scanning and printing digitally, depending on the image and the final result I desire.
