Harper Smith is one of the most sought-after female fashion photographers in the industry in addition to her accomplished directing career. Her journey into visual storytelling began in the cornfields of Iowa. Her focus on the “female gaze” has shaped a unique perspective that prioritizes understanding the subject before capturing their essence. This approach translates to both her photography and filmmaking, providing richly textured and deeply authentic visual narratives. Her work includes (a recent) short film for Lady Gaga, and client roster which spans from A-list celebrities including Ewan McGregor, Dakota Fanning, Gigi Hadid and Kate Bosworth as well as major brands and publications including Ralph Lauren, Magnolia Networks, Lacoste, W, Interview, Harper's Bazaar, and Marie Claire. Harper's dual expertise in still and moving images provides Paint Horse Entertainment with a versatile and nuanced approach to visual narrative.
