About
Matt Anthony
Architectural Photographer · Squamish, BC
I photograph architecture with the same care and intention that goes into designing and building it. My work is about documenting design intent, capturing not just how a space looks, but how it feels, how it sits in the landscape, and why it matters.
I got into this work because I believe great design deserves to be seen
I'm based in Squamish, British Columbia, right in the heart of the Sea to Sky Corridor. It's a place where the built environment meets some of the most dramatic natural landscapes in the country, and that tension between architecture and nature is something I think about constantly in my work.
I started Matt Anthony Photography with a straightforward belief: the people who design and build remarkable spaces deserve imagery that does that work justice. Not overly stylized, not artificially staged. Just honest, refined photography that captures the real character of a project and the intent behind it.
Most of my clients are architects, custom home builders, and interior designers across the Sea to Sky and Sunshine Coast. I work with them not just as a photographer, but as a creative partner. Someone who takes the time to understand design language, material choices, and the story a project is trying to tell before I pick up a camera.
Whether it's a single completed residence or an ongoing retainer across multiple builds, I approach every project the same way: with preparation, presence, and a commitment to getting it right. The goal is always imagery that earns recognition, whether through awards, publications, or simply a portfolio that reflects the true calibre of the work.
I'm also a certified Advanced Drone Pilot. Aerial perspectives are part of how I work. They add context, reveal a project's relationship to its surroundings, and give clients a dimension of their work that ground level photography can't capture on its own.
How I Work
Every frame is built on the same principles
Design Intent First
I start every project by understanding the architect's or builder's vision. The material choices, the spatial flow, the relationship to site. The photography follows from that understanding, not the other way around.
Natural Light, Real Spaces
I time every shoot around the best available light. No heavy handed HDR, no artificial composites. The goal is imagery that feels true to the experience of being in the space. Honest, warm, and considered.
Calm, Professional Presence
I work quietly, independently, and with respect for the site. Whether I'm shooting alongside a construction crew or in a staged home, I adapt to the rhythm of your team and environment.
Built for Recognition
The imagery I deliver is designed to perform. In award submissions, on refreshed websites, across social media, and in publications. Every image is composed with your professional goals in mind.
Partnership, Not Transactions
My best client relationships are ongoing. I work with builders and architects across multiple projects over time, developing a visual language that becomes part of their brand identity.
Full Spectrum Coverage
Photography, videography, drone, team portraits, progression documentation. I offer everything under one roof so your visual identity stays cohesive across every touchpoint.
Off the Clock
When I'm not behind a camera
I live in Squamish because of what's out the front door. When I'm not shooting, you'll find me rock climbing, surfing, or somewhere on a trail in the Sea to Sky. I'm drawn to environments where nature and intention intersect, which is probably why I ended up photographing architecture in one of the most beautiful corridors in the country.
I travel when I can. I'm curious about how different cultures build, how they use light and space, and how design reflects the values of the people who live in it. That curiosity carries back into every project I shoot at home.
Let's work together
If you're building something worth seeing, I'd love to hear about it.
