Pathways: A Journey Through the Innovative Images of Acclaimed Photographer G.B. Smith

G.B. Smith’s 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 photographer’s 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. Smith’s current collections, including

many of his more recent award-winning images. All of the author’s proceeds are being donated

to The Breast Cancer Alliance charity.
