I have been a professional photographer for most of my life, initially in Europe, and for the last thirty odd years in Australia.

My background, publications, exhibitions and teaching experience, are detailed in about heide smith.

During my professional career I have photographed just about everything, but today I am best known as a people photographer. I also work for government and the corporate sector, mainly on annual reports and executive portraits.You can see examples of my work in heide smith photographer.

I have worked on many large projects, some on assignment and some for exhibitions and publications. Collections of images from some of these projects are available through my gallery. If you want to use an image for a specific project, my image bank may be able to help you.

I have taught photography to amateurs and professionals at seminars and workshops all over the world. I now offer personal tuition at my home, a nine acre peninsula, surrounded by forest and water. If the idea of a weekend of personal tuition appeals - on a subject of your choice, with meals and private accomodation for you and a partner or friend - see tuition.
