Alitzia Tyminski is a Music Photographer based in Toronto, Canada contributing to Canada's longest running metal publication BraveWords & Bloody Knuckles.
When Alitzia was first born in Iquitos, Peru (the gateway to the Amazon), her parents said she did not even cry and simply looked around the room quietly in wonder.
When her family arrived to Canada, as a child Alitzia loved seeing the Canadian snow for the first time and watching the bright colourful city lights.
As a teenager, Alitzia took an introductory photography course with her art teacher Donna at an alternative high school. Her father gifted her first film camera, a Pentax K-1000 35mm.
Inspired by a Celtic Frost concert performance in 2006 and Enslaved in 2007 in Toronto, Alitzia was drawn to the world of music photography.
Alitzia's work has been published in Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles (Bravewords.com), Lithium Magazine, NOW Magazine, NXNE.com, Decibel Magazine (Dunable Guitars advertisement), Smokin' Ink Magazine and Amplify Music Magazine.
Active in the community since she was a teenager, Alitzia volunteers and works in the social services field as a Crisis responder with local community mental health agencies helping people in crisis which is ranked as Toronto's fourth largest crisis response service and recognized with a Toronto Community Champion Award in 2024.
