The Portrait Collections of Heide Smith contain some of her best known images. Heide regards herself as a People Photographer. These images were taken on assignments, personal projects and travels, over a period of more than 60 years. They include international icons such as The Daili Lama, Presidents, Governor Generals and Prime Ministers, Academics, Sportsmen, Musicians and celebrities. Most have been displayed in exhibitions, some a number of times, and many have been published in books and magazines. There are many more portraits in the the other Collections on this website.
