Chris Smith

Biography

Chris Smith originally got into photography with a Minolta Maxxum 7000 SLR 35mm film camera over 30 years ago. As processing costs got prohibitively expensive, Chris stopped taking pictures.

Over a decade later personal circumstances led Chris back into photography, but this time there was a 'D' in front of that SLR. This DSLR solved the processing cost issue, and he has never looked back. Various cropped sensor cameras from various manufacturers have been used prior to his current full-frame behemoth.

Chris currently resides in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He teaches beginner and introductory photography to individuals and small groups throughout southern Alberta, and has been known to travel to other places where someone would like to learn basics of this wonderful art of photography. Chris' ability to simplify seemingly complex topics serves him well in these endeavors.
