Patti Smith (b. 1946) is an American artist, writer, and musician whose work has profoundly shaped contemporary culture. While best known as a pioneering figure in punk music and literature, Smith has also developed a highly personal photographic practice, often using a simple Polaroid Land Camera to document objects, relics, and places imbued with poetic and spiritual resonance. Her photographs, which have been exhibited internationally and published in volumes such as Camera Solo and Land 250, reflect the same intimacy and lyrical sensibility that define her writing and music.
