MPS Digital Photography presents a talk with Brooklyn-born fashion and portrait photographer Timothy Smith (MPS 2016 Digital Photography). Graduating with a master’s from the School of Visual Arts, Smith has worked with top international agencies featuring global brands such as Casio, ESPN x New York Marathon, Espy’s, Gucci x Far Fetch and UGG.

His aesthetic is described as timeless with a “polished grit vibe.”
