Cody Smyth is a New York-based photographer who captured The Strokes at the very beginning of their rise — the dingy rehearsal rooms, street corners and backstage corridors of early 2000s New York that formed the backdrop to one of rock's most celebrated debuts. His photographs from 2001 to 2006 offer an intimate document of the band before and after their breakthrough, shot with the candid access of a genuine insider.

Beyond The Strokes, Smyth has photographed a diverse range of artists including Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode and Alicia Keys, bringing the same instinct for authentic, unguarded portraiture to each subject.
