"Rodney Smith’s lifework stands out for its expression of joy, humor, and wistfulness, and it serves as a reminder of the ways in which both fashion photography and fashion itself are in dialogue with art historical discourses. This comprehensive survey of Smith’s career illuminates not only how his playful embrace of experimentation and extraordinary technical mastery of photography resulted in imaginative, timeless images but also how these images broaden our understanding of fashion photography as a collaborative and expressive art form." - Michal Raz-Russo
Paul Martineau is curator in the Department of Photographs at the J. Paul Getty Museum.
"I've been a fan of Rodney Smith's work for years. With his ability to find something interesting in the ordinary, Smith's new book is a delightful romp through a world where the mundane becomes magical, the impossible becomes possible and the absurd becomes normal. I appreciate Smith's simplicity and instinct for beauty, coupled with a dash of surrealism and humor. If you're looking for a book of photos that will make you see the world in a new light, look no further." - Elliott Erwitt, photographer
