the photographs of heide smith

My friends the Tiwi Indigenous Australians. The collection that is closest to my heart. 2 books and many exhibitions.

I photographed Canberra and its people for more than 35 years, and have published 5 Canberra books.

This was my business name when I lived and worked as a professional photographer in Hameln Germany.

This collection is a who's who of Australian high achievers, photographed over a period of more than 50 years

I am comfortable in most forms of photography, but I see myself as primarily a People Photographer

Just like everyone else with a camera in their hand, I can't resist shooting a great landscape!

Limited Edition and Vintage prints & boxed sets, some are over 60 years old; for serious collectors

"Portrait of Canberra and of Canberrans" & "Portrait of a People - the Tiwi of N Australia"
