Edward M. Smathers

Although this is an author profile and I could share much of my experience herein, I feel it necessary to share my true passion - Photography. Capturing the essence of my natural surroundings and atmosphere in the photographs I take has become almost an obsession. I am always in search of the perfect photograph. While I have traveled throughout the world, I know I will find that perfect shot right here in New York State. Waterfall and Nature Photography is my passion. Sharing my images with the world is my dream. Watching as people look at the photographs I have taken and seeing their eyes light up in awe of Mother Nature's grande architecture; there is no greater feeling for me than that! Every step I take on the trail is a reminder to me of how lucky we are to have such unmistakably beautiful places to enjoy and take full advantage of every day of our lives. My photography style is as much based on physical appearance as it is based on the technical aspects of the photograph. I have gone to school for Engineering which has given my previously artistic brain another dimension to work from. This technical training, along with over 15 years of photography experience, have afforded me the abilities to look at a scene from a much different perspective than most. This is my style and I. We are always evolving, but never waning in our quest for perfection. My name is Edward Smathers and I have a photo for you!
