Recent Work & Past Projects
The work presented here is a combination of short personal projects or in some cases, a set of images shot for a client that required the development of a specific theme. Check back here often as I will update this frequently. All images on this website are copyrighted © Gary Smith.
A Personal Project
The image on the right is essentially straight out of the camera. It was inspired by a photo of my grandfather in 1920 with his biplane. You can read more in the About section. The image on the left is a composite of images I took and some generative AI to create the conceptual image. Given the rise of UAVs (drones) and how far we've come in aviation since 1903, one has to wonder about the future of aviation with a pilot in the cockpit. Today, you can buy a drone for personal transportation which needs no runway or airport. Militaries around the world have been using UAV's with great success and some claim there is no need for a pilot in the cockpit. How long before mankind completely loses our instinct for adventure.
First Commercial Shoot - 2015
I think it's important to reflect back sometimes just to remind ourselves about things achieved and to be thankful for the opportunity. These photos were shot in December, 2015 during one of my first commercial shoots for a new direct-to-consumer brand. Our model was also new to the business and she killed it! Thank you Kim! I have shot for that brand for about 10 years now and we've all learned a lot over the years. Thank you Alvie, for the opportunity, it's been a blast!

PHI Med 14
These images were shot as part of a personal project to give a little back to a life flight team in Bastrop, Texas for all the lives they save and their contribution to the community. The company operates hundreds of helicopters across the US and we're very fortunate to have such a great group of men and women on the front line in helping people with life-threatening injuries and illness who need emergency evacuation to a hospital. Thank you!
