I'm a photographer who focuses mainly on creative portraits and editorial photography - but I live in Newfoundland 🇨🇦 so there's a lot of ocean and cliffs and generally beautiful things too. desmondsmith.ca

Love this photo from a set with Haley in St John’s. There’s so much going on here but it comes together in a beautiful image.

A style photograph of model Haley who has brown hair sitting on a gray couch while wearing a black shirt, blue jeans, and black shoes.

I love a creative couple shoot - it's probably my fave thing to shoot. Here's Haley and Nathan at a cool venue in St. John's, NL.

youtu.be/ykbnD88o5YE?... Check out this conversation I was able to be a part of last week. We talked about the impact that Trump‘s election and presidency has had on Canadian pride. I got to bring the perspective of a therapist and somebody who has recently moved back to Canada from the US.

An afternoon with Gracie at The Little House. Great portrait session in a beautiful home studio.

A couple of years back I got to spend a day doing some fashion and creative portrait photography at the Hillside Oak Studio in King's Mountain, NC. This shot always stands out to me as one of elegance as the model sits by the side of the pool.

This is Leah, taken at The Little House Studio in #CLT (Charlotte, NC). The Little House is an AMAZING creative space. I wish there were more places like this (or any places?) here in #Newfoundland. #photography #portraits #creativeportraits #fashion

One of my faves, with Jessica at Camp North End in Charlotte, NC. Love the old desert vibes, and the flowing green dress and straw hat. And the pay phone?!?

A woman with red hair and a green dress and red shoes stands in a bright sunlit scene, leaning against a blue payphone. There is a large brick building in the background.

Recent shots from Bay Roberts and Port De Grave, Newfoundland during a snow storm (and shortly after).
