Matthew Jordan Smith is the man behind the lens for some of the most popular entertainers today, including Halle Berry, Britney Spears, Oprah Winfrey, and Angela Bassett. His clients have included L'Oreal, Pantene, Revlon, HBO, and Showtime. Smith recognized the advantages that digital technology would bring to his photography early on, but had been hobbled by an out of date computer system. Recently Smith installed a modern, high powered digital workflow solution based on Microsoft Windows XP Professional, and hardware and software from leading industry providers including Adobe, Dell, Epson, Extensis, Lexar Media, Microsoft, X-Rite/Monaco, Sony, and Wacom. His decision to migrate to Windows XP was based in part on the wide range of solutions available, as well as the platform's robust and secure networking, end-to-end color management, and overall stability and performance.
