We are proud to be the first Black-owned photography studio in Calgary. Why is this significant? At Motif, we create opportunities for underrepresented individuals to thrive, fostering growth and innovation in the community. We go beyond just Calgary photography; Motif serves as a hub for storytelling, education, mentorship, and collaboration.
Founded by an award-winning photographer and documentarian with over 20 years of experience behind and in front of the lens, our Black-owned photography studio brings a unique perspective to portrait photography. With six years dedicated to mentorship, education, and advocacy, Motif Photography infuses your artistic endeavors with energy and insight.
To document the human spirit through all its prisms of colour, a Black-owned photography studio in Calgary specializes in capturing the essence of life. Through portrait photography, we snapshot each moment, each instance of pure joy, true friendship, quiet reflection, or gentle grief.
