Mark Smith has been a photographer since 1983, starting out as a press photographer with the Hawke’s Bay Herald Tribune, finishing his training with the New Zealand Herald.
He has been operating as a Freelance Photographer since 1989, with work appearing in many national and international magazines and newspapers.
He has also maintained a strong commitment to his personal photographic practice, exhibiting regularly over the years in both public and alternative spaces.
In 1999 along with his sister Deborah Smith, and friend Victoria Ferguson they formed CAKE Collective, an urban poster exhibition of which there have been five so far. The last being executed late 2002. Their commitment is to presenting their photographic imagery to a very wide egalitarian audience.
In 2000 Mark published the book Neil Finn Once Removed released internationally with Sanctuary Publishing. The book received much publicity and acclaim, here and overseas.
Smith’s latest project involves revisiting the genre of portrait photography. In April 2002 he began a long-term plan of photographing a wide cross-section of the community, primarily to create an archival record. He continues to work for several magazines and is based in Auckland New Zealand.
