“Light is a story. I just write it down.”
I started shooting because I wanted the nights to last longer. Concerts, parties, the city after rain — I’d carry a camera so the small moments wouldn’t disappear.
Smith Motion Studio is a one-person shop with a feature-film appetite. Artists, brands, festivals, friends — if there’s a story in it, I’ll find the frame.
