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.
Although I am comfortable in most forms of photography, I regard myself primarily as a People Photographer
Just like everyone else with a camera in their hand, I can't resist shooting a great landscape!
Original prints from the analogue period of my career, some are 60 years old; for collectors
"Portrait of Canberra and of Canberrans" & "Portrait of a People - the Tiwi of N Australia"
Behind every image is a story; read the stories behind Heide’s most memorable assignments
"Heide Smith has become Australia's most important female photographer of recent times. Of course, this also makes her one of Australia's most important contemporary photographers, but women have particularly struggled to be seen in this country, and history will, one day, record the true value of Heide's contribution to our visual history"
