You’ve been reading their articles for months or years, have you ever wondered “Who are the photographers who write for dPS”? We thought it would be a good time to introduce them to you through a series of interviews.
Today meet Barrie Smith, Australia based writer-photographer.
Decades.
Barrie SmithI am a full time writer-photographer.
Ability to move quickly. Many of my subjects are people stories so I may make contact with the character one day, then talk to and shoot him or her the next.
My pictures are journalistic in style, so arty shots are not in the running.
Early days: film and video cameraman, then setting up and operating the TV workshop for a major international ad agency. Then directed TV commercials for a long, long time.
As a sideline started to write about photography for Australian and international magazines.
Wrote, photographed and self-published Australia’s only book on vintage cameras — THE CLASSICS: CAMERAS.
When digital cameras arrived (was it 1995?) I began shooting and writing on this topic as well as reviews on cameras and software.
Founding editor of Australian Videography and Australian Digital Camera magazines.
Nearly four years ago I joined the team, thanks to a tip from a fellow contributor. Enjoy my stuff on the Web. Beats the bum off conventional publishing. Immediate communication with your audience. Rapid appearance online as against months of lead time with magazines.
Compact bridge cameras. Not a favourite of clumsy, heavy DSLRs!
It’s the driver not the car!
Valerie Jardin I live and breathe in pixels! Photography is more than a passion, it's an obsession, almost an addiction. When I am not shooting for commercial clients or writing about photography, I spend my time teaching this beautiful craft during photo workshops in France and in the US, and soon in Australia!
