Without a doubt some of the best photographers in the world today.

http://richardsmaltz.com/Artist.asp?ArtistID=2143&Akey=TWLNT9G5 ::. Richard Smaltz is an advertising photographer with over twenty years experience.  He holds a Bachelor in Fine Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology.  While in college he was awarded a prestigious scholarship to work with the late Ansel Adams. In the following paragraph he introduces and informs us about his photography style all too well ....The image is a creature of the imagination. It walks the mind. Artists discover ways to coax these images out of the mind and into the public eye. Images are not mere pictures made to represent the external reality of a person or an object. An image goes deeper. Saturated with its subject's essence, the image embodies a form of truth made available to us only through art.

The best images, move beyond documentation of particular moments. These images, which I strive to make, not only freeze a moment from our past, but also connect us to a timeless eternal. Art may, in fact, be defined as seeing the extraordinary quality of ordinary things. I am, therefore, attracted to all subjects and their metaphoric possibilities, without limitation. No matter the subject, a successful image, must exhibit tension between the temporal and the eternal, between the sacred and the profane, between yin and yang, between light and dark, between motion and stillness. These eternal conflicts govern our existence. They make our lives-and the images that represent our lives-interesting, dynamic, and powerful. To see these kinds of tensions, I clear a space for my imagination to dwell in the subject. I keep my ego from cutting off possibilities of an in-depth, creative and truthful vision.

When I get behind the camera, I don't just shoot;  I  see. I open myself to all that can be seen in the world outside of me and in the world inside of me. I work with images in the spirit of discovery and creativity. I seek to create images that take up where words leave off.
