Pathways: A Journey Through the Innovative Images of Acclaimed Photographer G.B. Smith
English
By (author): G.B. Smith
G.B. Smiths book, PATHWAYS takes the viewer through a journey of each image, using light to
illuminate patterns and distilling the subject down to its uncluttered form. This innovative
approach transcends a wide range of subjects and genres and reflects his traditional
photographic heritage of plate cameras and exclusively black-and-white imagery. The joy of his
imagery is in fact deeply embedded in his ability to present the canvas in its essential form. His
images bring solace to our psyche constantly overwhelmed by the overstimulation of color, and
they encourage us to appreciate the essence of the subject in a new and releasing way. Out of
less comes more in this gorgeously produced volume.
PATHWAYS is also a metaphor for the photographers personal artistic journey that began
almost fifty years ago as a teenager and has taken a somewhat circuitous route, coming back
full circle to embrace his original photographic passions.
The book features selected works from several of G.B. Smiths current collections, including
many of his more recent award-winning images. All of the authors proceeds are being donated
to The Breast Cancer Alliance charity.
