Who is Taja Smith?

Ever wondered what you get when you give an introvert a laptop and a camera? well it’s this…. a never-ending surge of photographs, graphic design projects and ideas all blended into Taja Smith Media.

If you have found yourself on this website, I think you should stay a while. Explore over 6 years of photography portfolio material and indulge in over 4 years of graphic design projects. I am a recent graduate Communications and Media student who is passionate all things advertising, storytelling & marketing. While there is no cloud space big enough to store all the creative, professional and ambitious projects I have created, I am sure you will find something you like throughout my public portfolio.

My foundation in a Bachelor of Arts stems from my love for photography from a young age (I have a collection of over 20 vintage cameras from my Pa and he told me never shy from a Nikon). While it is one of my most valuable skills, I do hope you find comfort in my other creative skills such as curation, design & beyond…
