Ted Smith Photography

A totally self-taught photographer for 15 years or so, I turned semi-professional in 2007. Since 2006 I have steered my technique primarily (but not exclusively) towards the photography of dogs and other pets, but I am versatile and able to photograph a variety of subjects (see my portfolio).

On the whole I try to utilize the natural light but will occasionally use flash when necessary. All my equipment is by Nikon. I primarily use fixed length lenses, and all of my work is un-manipulated. I can and will photograph using either digital or tradtional professional film (especially black & white film) depending on the requirements and intended outcomes - again, versatility being key.

I produce black & white film prints for you and your family using my own traditional darkroom and the finest photographic papers. Digital prints are produced by a photographic lab.

A usual sitting consists of either a morning or an afternoon block - I do not charge by the hour and instead take as long as it needs to obtain a good selection of shots, subject to the animals cooperation of course! I will never ask an animal to 'work' for a shoot more than he wants to.

If you would like to know more, would like to book a sitting, or wish to see the full price list I am best contacted by e-mail at tedsmith@tedsmithphotography.com where I will usually reply within 48 hours.
