In the tradition of Richard Avedon and Irving Penn, Rodney Smith has a signature, timeless style. This dazzling collection celebrates 50 years of Smith\u2019s photography.
Rodney Smith bridges the gap between commercial photography and art, between the real world we live in and the artist\u2019s world of the imagination. His images—silhouettes and skylines, a man in a hat, elegant women in lush gardens—are by now familiar to us. Rodney Smith Photographs presents the man behind the photographs. A selection of pictures spanning four decades, organized thematically, stand alongside personal reflections drawn from Smith\u2019s popular blog. It reveals that the photographer\u2019s signature style is the product of his unusual background, his unique perspective, and his many years of self-analysis: in short, Smith\u2019s photographs are also pictures of their creator.
