"A photographer of psychological depth as well as of class and status, Alix Smith’s portraits of friends and acquaintances enact a 21st century theater of manners featuring the urbane, well-heeled set. Part informal snapshots, part orchestrated tableaux, Smith’s stylized photographs are cast squarely in the directorial vein. Her limpid, elegant pictures portray well-rehearsed identities that sometimes bleed into cliches, the better to point up the truth behind shared stereotypes."

-Christian Viveros-Faune
