ABOUT

Lynden Smith

January 2025

Lynden Smith is a Geelong-based photographer who has been behind the lens since last century, embracing digital photography in 2004. Since making the switch, Adobe Photoshop has become as vital to his creative process as his trusted Canon camera. While he’s mastered both tools, Lynden admits that Photoshop remains an endless frontier of discovery.

What began as a personal challenge to publish 365 photos in 365 days quickly evolved into a long-term project. Now with over 5,000 consecutive daily images and blog posts, Lynden credits this daily discipline with sharpening his eye and strengthening his storytelling. Reaching 33,000 followers on Google Plus gave him early affirmation that his work resonated with a wide audience.

Originally from the Wimmera, Lynden has called Geelong home for more than 27 years, living at the gateway to the iconic Great Ocean Road. His wife, Christine, is also a talented photographer and artist, and together they spend many evenings transforming their photographic adventures into new works of art.

In recognition of his contributions, Lynden received the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the 2019 Queen’s Birthday Honours for his service to the communities of Geelong and Ararat.
