"Graham has achieved spectacular success within the music business, and there is little doubt that he is going places. His name and reputation is spreading – a recent limited edition book he produced, for example, sold out within a few months. It’s been a natural progression and it’s one that Graham has achieved while still keeping his personal contact with his subjects and his integrity – and sanity – fully intact."
Digital SLR User, March 2008

"Since his photographic debut, Smith has gone on to work with some of the biggest names in the industry like Razorlight, R.E.M., Editors, Scissor Sisters......Nonetheless he remains ever-modest about his achievements."
Channel 4, May 2007

"Authenticity creates the most powerful images. Music photography is, first and foremost, about the music and therefore my approach is quite simple. Spend time with the artist, get to know them, chat about music and get them to open up.
Then it's simply about documenting. In my opinon a successful photograph is one that shows the musician as they truly are."
Extract from an interview with Graham Smith, May 2007



Biography


Graham Smith is an experienced and highly sought after photographer and film maker who works exclusively within the music world.

His drive comes from a love of music and the often closed off world which surrounds it. Working in an intimate, friendly, natural and relaxed way has ensured he is able to represent the music in its truest form.

Now 27 years old, he spends most of his life traveling around, documenting musicians and the scene which surrounds them. Grahams work has been extensively published and exhibited around the world.

His first book was published in May 2007, titled "Going Deaf For A Living". This signed limited edition book of 550 very quickly sold out.

Graham is currently working on various new book projects and exhibitions for 2008 and beyond, as well as continuing to work with everyone from the largest acts in the world to the brightest new hopes.
