Al Giddings - Oscar nominated ("Titanic") Director of Photograph

“Today's cameras are technical wonders. Superb image making tools! However, the personal gift of artistic composition is rare. During my early years with National Geographic, I witnessed the hopes of highly motivated photographers miss the bar. Most hopefuls rendered pictures that were well exposed, carried crisp focus, but lacked an artist’s eye. Smieja Photography carries emotion, move the viewer! They moved me when I first viewed them years ago and still do as her photographs grace the walls of my home.”
