Skywall Photography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My name is Dustin Smith<\/a> and I’m an international, award-winning photographer currently based out of West Yorkshire in England. I’m the lead photographer and founder of Skywall Photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m originally from Austin, Texas which is the capital of the giant “Lone Star State”. I grew up eating tangy BBQ and genuine Tex-Mex food, playing sports, and watching incredible Texas sunsets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I dedicate Skywall Photography to one of the most incredible women I’ve ever known, Grandma Waller. Just before Grandma passed away, she asked what I wanted to do with my life to which I responded, “my passion is photography<\/em>“. It was then that she bought me my first professional camera and told me to make my dreams come true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just weeks later, she passed away. Grandma was a role model and left me with the happiest of memories, incredible life advice, and a drive to fulfil my passion. I couldn’t think of a better way to honour her than to dedicate my business to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “Sky” in Skywall represents Heaven and the “Wall” represents her last name of Waller. Grandma Waller is Loved and Missed every day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where my passion for photography came from<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After graduating from Kansas University, I began travelling the world to broaden my international knowledge and experiences. During my travels, I discovered my passion for capturing the beauty of the incredible moments that surrounded me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My love for photography and learning about foreign cultures has enabled me to visit over 40 countries, meet wonderful people, and have unbelievable experiences. I’d love to tell you some of the things I’ve seen and done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along my journey, I have worked with many types of clients, which has helped build my portfolio. I’ve worked with celebrities at special events and performers at radio gigs. I’ve been commissioned by large corporations and small businesses for photography<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve documented stories for magazines, international family vacations, family trips to the park, shot individual portraits, and so much more! I have worked in various settings including indoor, outdoor, home visits, studios, and large and small events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
