What people are saying.
-
"Gently subversive and brilliantly layered."
— Vince Aletti
-
"A photographer of psychological depth ... 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
-
"The pictures are beautiful in their elegance and representation of traditional values with non-traditional families."
— Radar Magazine
