ABOUT
I’m Dale Smith, a street and documentary photographer documenting everyday life across Asia.My work focuses on everyday life — people, places, light and the unscripted moments that often go unnoticed. Rather than staging photographs, my approach is observational: walking, watching and waiting for something real to happen.Bangkok is at the centre of much of my earlier work, alongside photographs made while travelling throughout Thailand and across Asia.
