Sports, Lifestyle & Travel Photography Portfolio
My mission as a photographer is to capture the honest, in-between moments that reflect the way people really move through the world - whether that’s on the trail, in community, or innovating new products. I create imagery that blends energy with stillness, pairing clean, natural visuals with moments that feel authentic.
From athlete portraits to lifestyle campaigns, I work with brands and creatives who value emotion, movement, and meaning. Every frame is rooted in a deep love for wild places and real people and shaped by my background in documentary storytelling.

I’m Roo Smith - a two-time Emmy-nominated filmmaker and photographer based in Boulder, Colorado. I’ve spent the last decade crafting stories that move people, working with brands like Patagonia, The North Face, Microsoft, Outside Magazine, and Netflix to tell grounded, human stories rooted in the outdoors.
But I don’t just make beautiful films, I build full campaigns that help brands grow. I partner with impact-driven companies to plan, shoot, and launch story-first content that performs across web, social, and paid media.
Whether it's a short doc, a commercial with soul, or a campaign built for conversions, I’m here to take the creative off your plate and deliver something that works.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me songwriting, swimming in alpine lakes, and trail running.
