Biography

Storm Smith's photographic work centers around his interest in nature.  But, more than just panoramic record shots, his lens looks closer at the art that nature provides.  It's the curve of a tree trunk, the frothing of white water around a moss-covered rock, or a colorful red leaf amid a sea of green grass that captures his interest.  While not actually abstract, the closer look at nature provides the viewer an opportunity to visually “step into nature” and spend a moment experiencing the texture, flow, and color that surrounds us all. 

Storm's background is in broadcast journalism.  For more than 20 years, he reported news for radio and television stations in Arkansas and Oklahoma.  He spent another five years producing video projects in Dallas, Texas.  This constant linkage of the pictures he sees with verbal descriptions prompts him to spend time studying each still photo scene before capturing it.  During that time, he continually asks, “What does this picture say to me?  And more importantly, what will it say to someone else?” 

Storm Smith's photographic work has been featured in printed sales materials, brochures, web sites, billboards, and newspaper reports.
