Lynn Goldsmith is a renowned photographer of actors, writers, rock stars, and other celebrities, but her most intriguing work is arguably her surreal self-portraiture. The sublime and colorful compositions presented in In the Looking Glass offer a perfect vehicle for Goldsmith’s creative spirit, humor, and introspective nature. The layered scenes and clever staging echo the styles of Cindy Sherman and David LaChapelle, but Goldsmith’s work features even more mischievous themes, detail, and theatrical settings that wittily explore the dichotomy of candid self-portrait” and imaginative artifice.
