The Photography of Rodney Smith

The late Rodney Smith provided the fashion world with some great and memorable moments. Inspired by his location, Smith brought a touch of surrealism and style to quite normal settings. Whimsy in the wild.

His career spanned 45 years, based in New York Smith shot on film with a medium-format Hasselblad, creating enchanting portraits with a touch of eccentricity.

In a world pretty much reliant on software like Photoshop, Smith’s images were almost 99% shot in-camera.
