Smith is originally from Herefordshire; his progression through the editorial course has led him to a certain archaeological influence in his photography. Smith doesn’t necessarily look for ‘traces’ but more finds the objects and signs of an institutions structure. The images in ‘RGB’ are taken from a photo lab and his recent project on the Fabrica gallery demonstrates that the backbone of a space is made up of the chairs, tables, lights, offices and desks that help an organisation function. Smith presents us with a banality that is photographed rather beautifully but draws our attention to the details that we ignore in our everyday lives. These details become not only visually exciting and intriguing when presented to the camera but also remind us of that which we take for granted.
