Allison V. Smith

Allison V. Smith is a freelance photographer based in Texas. Smith has worked as a photojournalist for seven newspapers since graduating from Southern Methodist University with a degree in journalism. In 2004, she left the Dallas Morning News to pursue fine art photography and freelance photography for editorial clients. Allison’s clients also include New York Times, Nasher Sculpture Center, and Le Monde Magazine.

Her fine art projects are focused on exploring the landscape and personality of West Texas and Marfa. Smith’s skill as a documentarian is evident in her fine art photographs. But here she pushes our perception beyond the mere facts into a zone where color and composition isolate, enhance and transform rural subjects into regional icons.
