David Maurice Smith works as both a director and photographer in Australia and surrounds, floating between the genres of advertising and documentary storytelling.
He initially gained recognition as a photojournalist covering complex issues around the globe on assignment for publications like The New York Times Magazine and TIME. It was this work that helped define his authentic and emotionally rich visual style, the same style that can be seen in the work he now creates for large-scale stills and motion brand campaigns for clients like American Express and The Government of Australia.
Underpinning his work is a fascination with the human condition and a love of using dramatic light and strong composition to bring complex narratives to life, walking the line between commercial and documentary.
David is commercially represented by flint, a full-service motion and stills production house based in Sydney.
