Henry Holmes Smith (1909, Bloomington, Indiana–1986) was an American photographer and a fine art photography teacher.
After World War II, he spent many years teaching at Indiana University.
His students included Jerry Uelsmann, Jack Welpott, Robert W. Fichter, Betty Hahn and Jaromir Stephany.
Smith was often involved in the cutting edge of photographic techniques: in 1931 he started experimenting with high-speed flash photography of action subjects, and started doing color work in 1936 when few people considered it a serious artistic medium.
Much of the information in this article is based on an interview with Smith in Dialogue with Photography by Paul Hill and Thomas Cooper (Thames & Hudson, 1979), 132–159.
