ANTHONY SMITH

Born and raised in western Canada, I spent my youth between the prairies and coastal British Columbia before my family settled in Calgary, Alberta. It was there that I first discovered my passion for photography, leading me to pursue a degree at Emily Carr University of Art and Design.

With over a decade of experience in the photography and editorial industries, I’ve cultivated a unique narrative quality in my work. My career includes nearly a decade at Bike Magazine, where I honed my skills in visual storytelling as the Director of Photography. Most recently, I co-founded Beta Magazine, where I directed the visual brand strategy and was instrumental in producing content that connected deeply with our audience.

In addition to my editorial work, I founded THE4COLOR, a platform that allows me to explore my creative vision and develop an unmistakable visual style. I specialize in capturing emotional connections that define the human experience, showcasing the grit and determination of individuals and their journeys.

I’m particularly passionate about the intersection of storytelling and visual art, and I aim to produce content that highlights the beauty of the human experience while telling diverse narratives. My ultimate goal is to inspire and engage audiences through authentic stories that leave a lasting impression.
