I'm David Smith, a fine art and portrait photographer in Dallas, and a member of the queer leather and nudist communities I photograph. Not an outsider looking in — I was Mr. GNI Leather 2023 and an IML 2024 contestant, and most people find me through the community itself.
I see clients as collaborators, not subjects — leather portraiture, artistic nudity, and event work, grounded in consent. I'm after presence, not performance: the way you carry your leather, your gear, your own skin.
