Early life
Goldsmith was born in Detroit, Michigan. Her mother was an interior decorator and her father was an engineer. Her older sister, Ellen Nieves, is a painter living in upstate New York. Goldsmith lived in Detroit until high school, when she moved to Florida. She graduated from Miami Beach High School, and then attended the University of Michigan, where she graduated in three years with two degrees in English and Psychology. She was magna cum laude. She was the youngest woman director ever accepted into the Directors Guild of America as a director. She has numerous awards for her photography from the Lucien Clergue to The World Press. Though she has had multiple careers, ranging from co-manager of Grand Funk Railroad to Island Record's recording artist Will Powers, she is most widely known for her portraits of rock and roll's biggest icons. She chronicled Bruce Springsteen's rise, the Rolling Stones' stadium tours, and Michael Jackson's ascent. Cultural heroes like Bob Dylan and Patti Smith became frequent subjects for her lens.
Career
Goldsmith worked for Elektra Records in college. She met Joshua White in 1971 and spent with him as a director for Joshua TV, becoming the first company to do video magnification for rock bands entertaining at large venues. Goldsmith was the first member of the Directors Guild of America in the same year. In 1972, Goldsmith produced ABC's In Concert, the first rock show on network television. Goldsmith produced "We're an American Band" in 1973, after directing a documentary piece on Grand Funk Railroad for ABC. This led to her as the band's co-manager.
She moved from planning and directing to concentrate on her photography in the mid-seventies. Goldsmith was the first photo agency to feature photographs of famous celebrities in the entertainment industry. LGI, the company, has grown to be the number one in the United States over the next 20 years, retaining over 300 photographers worldwide.
Goldsmith wrote songs and appeared as Will Powers during his time as Will Powers, and was recently signed to Island Records. Goldsmith sold LGI to Corbis in 1997 so she could concentrate more on her fine art photography and her Will Powers Institute work.
