about

Darren Smith is an Amsterdam-based photographer whose work explores the intersection of identity, ritual, and social environments, focusing on how individuals construct and perform presence within collective contexts.

Since 2016, his work Mayflies is a photographic series that continues to evolve on temporary communities, ritual time, and the construction of identity. The project is regularly expanded.
