My name is Flo Smith and I’m a documentary photo- and cinematographer,
struggling through life with diagnosed (F84.5) Aspergers Autism Syndrome
in conjunction with a savant in photography and an intellectually giftedness.
I’m on the road together with my Australian Shepherd “Moidl”,
chasing the decisive photographic moments!

 

The asset of my work is a solid, reliable & dedicated
reportage photography, captured with an analogue attitude,
free from any photoshop bric-à-brac’s and in true frame…

 

“candid & pure reportage photography,
with a decent pinch of Rock ’n Roll!”

 

To get back on the road and become a wider operating distance,
my first priority is to collect enough money through assignments,
picture sales in my online shop and/or a company sponsoring
to effort a good conditioned four-by-four transporter
and equip the interior for a life on the road.

and how to support us reaching this goal,

passionate, creative & highly skilled

…for me photography is not only hitting the shutter
and tuning the pictures “to death” in Photoshop.

It’s a coalescence from a deep passion to
the aesthetic portrayal of every kinds of subjects,
an endless supply in creativity,
many years in collecting well-founded knowledge
and a paramount of photographic-talent.
It’s more than just a plain job – it’s a handcraft,
the love of my life and my pillar of strength…
