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

Icebergs in #Twillingate, #Newfoundland. Such a stunning place.

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.

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

A shot from a couple years ago using a two light setup - a standard strobe and a StrobePro Optical Snoot.

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).
