About Roger Aguirre Smith

Photo of Roger Smith

I’ve been a photographer for many years; at times professional; always a therapeutic and creative outlet.

My background is in fine art black and white photography, medium and large format cameras and a 25 square foot darkroom used to print up silver gelatin jewels.

DSLRs are the tools of the trade having replaced the meditation of film and I use these tools in places that really don’t play well with electronics.

I have moonlighted as a web developer and consultant since 2007 and was the lead web developer and digital media director at a marketing agency for 4 years during that time.

My images, videos and words have been published in People, CBS, GoOutside, Paddle World, The Paddler and by the UC Press.

When not behind the lens, I can be found surfing along the central coast of California or backpacking in the Sierra.
