About me

Mike Smith
Photographer
I started my passion as a professional photographer in the mid 1980's. Then it was accepted to be a Generalist, where today each photographer now is more of a Specialist.
Over the years I have won awards both domestically and internationally. My work has been published in; Newspapers, books, magazines, advertising pieces, greeting cards, Trade Journals, and more. My images have aired on ABC, CBS, NBC, WGN, and WTTW. I have had many gallery shows around the country over the past 5 years.
I am now, and have always been, a risk taker. My background in photography contains a history of fire ground and fire investigative work.
I photograph Circuses, Opera Companies, theatrical Companies, wildlife, nature, and Steam Locomotives from a bygone era.
