: The Incredible Mr. Smith

I just discovered the incredible photography of Mr. Rodney Smith and I think you'll be amazed too!
The guy doesn't use Photoshop, doesn't use digital cameras, does everything on film and has quite an amazing body of work.
He was asked to be part of Magnum photo but refused because he didn't like their small elevator...
Here's the bio from his site

Thanks for sharing this, Francois.

I recognize some of his charismatic photos, but I didn't know the name of the man behind the camera and in front of the ideas.

Long been a fan of Rodney Smith's work.
I think I found his website after reading an article in the UK's Black & White Photography mag a couple of years back... It's a great shame that he seems to have stopped "blogging" as his words were often inspiring too.

If I could take a single portrait half as good as any of his, I'd be a happy chappy indeed.
