I tell stories. Sometimes with still photography. Sometimes with video. Often with both.

I started out with a 35mm film camera, and now work with a Canon 5D Mark II. Multimedia editing and photography are on my mind throughout each day. I watch commercials to see stories unfold in 30 seconds, television will teach you how to use a mid-shot, and films, well, films teach you everything else.

A few rules I live by: Do Good. Keep it Simple. Watch baseball.

A rule for multimedia photography and editing: If you can’t tell a story in 2 minutes, you can’t tell a story in 2 hours.

I’ve won some awards, I’ve gotten an education, I’ve even worked at a traditional newspaper. Earlier this year I shot my first narrative film, Double Standard, as part of the Minneapolis 24-Hour Film Race. My client list includes Runner’s World,  Star Tribune,  Northwestern College,  Creative Health Care Management, The Telegraph-Journal, and Dream Reality Films. I’m currently based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, available to shoot, edit, assist, or explain the rules of baseball.

You can find more of my iPhone photography on Instagram (mksmith) and Tumblr.

Cheers!
