The PhotographerI am professional photographer Chris Smith and this is the gallery showcasing my images from around the world. I have been lucky enough to visit places as diverse as Egypt and Dubai to Australia and the Maldives. I am a dedicated travel, nature and food photographer and I have brought together the very best images I have taken to share with you. They all represent places and subjects that I have a great passion for so I hope you enjoy being a part of my journey through these images. My travel work is focused almost exclusively on urban and coastal photography and I specialise in evening and low light imagery. The magic twilight hour produces some of the most amazing photos, the vast range of colour available makes this my favourite time to produce photographic art. The coast has some stunning natural sunsets with the life and power of the ever changing water combined with the most dramatic landscape that can be found anywhere in the natural world. The urban environment has such a vast range of shapes and light that I really have a fantastic time creating some of the most interesting images you can find. My nature images focus on macro photography, these photos are very highly focused close up images that can photograph very small subjects in ultra high detail. This involves a lot of patience and an ability to calmly look for hours to find your subject. This is the best part of my work, its very relaxing and the images it produces are stunning. I am available to produce travel images from destinations around the world on commission for use in marketing and publications and all of my images on Framing The Planet are available under Rights Managed and Editorial commercial license. I also shoot product images on commission for businesses to use in their own marketing and I specialise in gas fire places, surrounds and stoves.

All unframed prints are available with either a glossy, matte or lustre finish. Glossy finish is the shiny, rich-looking paper most people are traditionally used to. It tends to show fine detail better, but also shows fingerprints better. Matte finish is a highly textured print finish that resists fingerprints and scratches. It is more dull and does not reflect light. Many photographers use matte finishes for wallet prints because they usually get handled more than normal. Some also use it for poster-sized prints to reduce glare. Lustre finish is not as shiny as glossy, but not as flat (dull) as matte finish paper. Lustre paper has a textured finish (some call it "pebbled") that hides fingerprints. Most portraits and wedding photos are typically printed on Lustre finish paper. Unframed prints are available in the following sizes: 4 x 4 inches 8 x 10 inches 16 x 20 inches 20 x 30 inches For all 3 traditional paper finishes - glossy, matte and luster - prints are printed on Fujicolor Crystal Archive Type II Photo Paper with 50+ years archival quality.
