Photographer Doug Smith has captured images of the likes of renowned entertainers Diahann Carroll, B.B. King and Quincy Jones; key political figures, including former U.S. President Bill Clinton and U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young; and civil rights notables Coretta Scott King, Congressman John Lewis and Revs. Jesse Jackson Sr. and Al Sharpton.

Smith has had his work published in national publications Brides Noir, Glamour and Upscale magazines, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and The Baltimore Sun.

Doug Smith Photography is on the preferred vendors’ lists for the Sheraton Atlanta Hotel and the Marriott Atlanta Northwest. Smith also is displaying his photographic art work series, "Snapshots of Sound," at various Atlanta-area venues. The series demonstrates the beauty of musical instruments specific to symphonic, concert, jazz and marching bands. "Snapshots of Sound" is one way Smith—a member of the marching band in high school and college—pays tribute to the marching band experience.

A native of Alabama, who has made a name for himself in his home of Atlanta, and surrounding areas, Smith sees photography as a way of using his God-given talent to create art—capturing memories that last a lifetime—through the lens.
He credits that passion, combined with spiritual direction and the unyielding support of his wife/partner, Shandra, with the success of Doug Smith Photography.
