Douglas Darian Smith (1900-1984) was a noted commercial photographer. The State Library of South Australia's Darian Smith collection features extensive aerial photography of Adelaide and regional South Australia. A remarkable visual record, the collection illustrates the changing landscape, urbanisation and development of the city and South Australia from the 1920s until the early 1980s when he retired. Some of his photographs can be viewed at: https://collections.slsa.sa.gov.au/fi...

His 16mm films from the 1930s and 1940s were made for personal interest rather than as part of his professional work.
