Life and work
Smith studied at the Middlesbrough College of Art and forward-looking the Royal College of Art (London). In the 1970s he was in the middle of the photographers central to the Side Gallery, and created a series of photographs that showed working-class people in the north of England that were in a documentary style but were essentially montages. Work from the 1980s would play in people within townscapes, and in the words of David Alan Mellor, were “atmospheric, steeped in popular (and personal) memory — dark, romantic places with everything the melancholy attributed to Eugène Atget’s aware locations”.:110 Another Country, a joint exhibition past Chris Killip held in London in 1985, was generally well reviewed but to some appeared passé in the open of the new “postmodern” work of Martin Parr and others.
Smith curtailed his career as a photographer in 1990, since taking into consideration he has been a professional woodworker. His writing has appeared in Granta.
Smith’s photographs are in the steadfast collections of the Museum of Modern Art (New York), and the Victoria and Albert Museum (London).
