Rodney Smith: Photography Between Real and Surreal

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.
