Chris Frazer Smith

Chris Frazer Smith grew up with a camera, which perhaps explains his interest in portrait photography. Although he predominantly shoots people, this selection on The Motel Collection features his portraits of architecture and crush of humanity, in itself a type of portraiture that focusses more on the traces of human existence rather than the people themselves.

His traditional portrait work captures life, which is visible in his attention to detail in his architectural shoots as well. His precision framing and strong sense of art direction enable him to consistently create dynamic images from even the most usual of environments.
