Rodney Smith was a prominent photographer whose whimsical work invited comparison to that of surrealist painter Rene Magritte. Long acclaimed for his iconic black and white images that combine portraiture and landscape, Smith created enchanted worlds full of subtle contradictions and surprises. Using only film and light, his un-retouched, dream-like images are matched in quality by the craft and physical beauty of his prints.

Doug Chinnery’s Photography work has inspired me by the artistic techniques he uses, making his photography look more like a painting, using the difference of color and advanced photoshopping skills.
