"I would hope that I am one of a kind." -Rodney Smith Mystery and
manners, romance and fun-the sophisticated compositions and stylish
characters in the extraordinary pictures of fashion photographer
Rodney Smith (1947-2016) exist in a timeless world of his
imagination. Born in New York City, Smith started out as a
photo-essayist, turned to portrait photography, and found his
niche, and greatest success, in fashion photography. Inspired by W.
Eugene Smith, taught by Walker Evans, and devoted to the techniques
of Ansel Adams, Smith was driven by the dual ideals of technical
mastery and pure beauty. This lavish volume features nearly two
hundred reproductions of Smith's images-many that have never before
been published-and weaves together a biocritical essay by Getty
Museum curator Paul Martineau and a technical assessment of Smith's
production by the Center for Creative Photography's chief curator,
Rebecca Senf. It maps Smith's creative trajectory-including his
introduction to photography, early personal projects, teaching,
commissioned pieces, and career in fashion-and provides insight
into his personal life and character, contextualizing his work and
creative tendencies within his privileged but lonely upbringing and
his complex emotional and psychological makeup. Rodney Smith is the
definitive record of the life's work and worldview of a truly
original artist.
