Rodney Smith Photography



Rodney Smith takes some of the most beautiful photographs I have ever seen. His use of color, light, and playful approach make for some very memorable images. A true photographer's photographer, Smith turned down invitations to speak Columbia University, Goethe University, The University of Mexico, University of Madrid, and Harvard University after the publication of his book, The Land of Light. Instead, he opted to search for indelible images to photograph through the flea markets of Paris, on train rides across India, and in the deep south. Below, I am including my favorite photographs by Rodney Smith. Which one resonates with you the most?

Smith's new book, The End is available now.












This photograph, taken by Smith for New York Magazine is my absolute favorite.
