Turner the photographer, was born in Northern, Colorado in 1991, and has lived there his entire life. Being a fifth generation Coloradoan, Turner had the wonderful opportunity to see a changing world before his eyes. He attained a BA in Applied Psychology, as well as an MS in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. All of this while being a full time photographer operating Colorado Photography Experience.

Turner grew up in a creative, yet analytical house hold. With a mother who worked as an art teacher for over 30 years, and an engineer father, who also attained a degree in art, his two artistic parent’s traits have influenced his work greatly. Having such an artistic household, Turner started playing musical instruments at a young age as a creative expression. Learning over ten instruments, he was becoming a “one-man-band.”

Upon finishing high school however, is when he discovered photography. Turner fell in love quickly. 2010 is the year he started taking photographs seriously, and photography was his new passion. Turner started attending his local community college for photography. His work was selected to be the background image for a campus credit card, causing his inspiration to grow. When he had an image selected as the President’s choice best winner for a student art show, he knew photography was for him. Thus causing Turner Smith Photography to be born! Wanting to learn as much as possible, he went on to attain an Associates Degree in Digital Photography from the Art Institute. He was fortunate enough to receive an academic achievement grant for outstanding artwork.

Using his parent’s traits, along with his own, the images he creates are designed to show what he is seeing and experiencing in his everyday life. Turner still continues to always be learning about photography and working towards his goal of displaying his photographic work everywhere.
