Kenneth Lane Smith

When viewing one of Kenneth Lane Smith's works, people commonly inquire, "Is that a painting or a photograph?.  For him, it's the supreme compliment.  "That's tells me they're seeing what I see", Smith explains.  Kenneth says he views the world as if wearing blinders. "I only see what is directly in front of me," he says "but I see it with great clarity.  Somehow I often see what others do not."  As a result, people will often look at one of his pieces and comment on their familiarity, but through the lens of his camera - captured at the right time, in the right light, and isolated from everything around it - the image indeed looks completely different.

More than anything though, Kenneth is influenced by the effects of light and shadow.  Kenneth Lane Smith lives in the historic Niagara-on-the-Lake region.
