Mixing 20th-century glamour with surrealist humor and a touch of whimsy, Smith's photographs are fantastical impulses come to life
American fashion and portrait photographer Rodney Smith (1947-2016) creates a supreme, sublime balance between illusion and reality: women in couture dresses balancing on tightropes, dapper gentlemen seated with cardboard boxes over their heads and optical illusions make up his playfully contradictory oeuvre.
