Ralph Smith

Fine Art Photography

Ralph Smith has a life-long interest in photography. He started with a Minolta twin-lens reflex, graduated to a Hasselblad, then a 4x5 view camera complete with black hood and bellows. He now uses a selection of Canon lenses and camera bodies. He devotes nearly full-time to his life- long passion for photography. He is a member of the Canon Digital Society at the Gold level, the Professional Photographers Association and the Fort Collins Digital Camera Club. Ralph photographs landscapes, wildlife and flowers. He has taken workshops from notable Colorado photographers such as John Fielder and Vic Schendel. He participated in two workshops in Alaska’s Denali National Park. He attended four advanced Digital Photograph Workshops at the Bosque del Apache Wildlife Sanctuary in New Mexico. Ralph’s photographs appeared in the Fort Collins Coloradoan; one of his images was selected as a “photo of the year” for 2013 and two were selected in 2014. Ralph and his wife Janet travel frequently, with a focus on the Western United States. Selected images from Ralph’s work can be found at his web site.
