Tim picked up his first camera at a very early age, but it wasn’t until he was faced with what became a very traumatic period in his early twenties that he realised the true value of his camera. At that point, he realised that at an opportunity to remember a wonderful moment could pass by without a visual record of it.
He began taking his camera with him wherever he went, just in case an opportunity to make a photograph arose. Photography quickly became a way for him to express and share the emotion felt at the time the shutter was released.
Tim grew up on the edge of the Peak District and spent some of his childhood exploring the great outdoors. Through the Scout Movement, the Army Cadets and Duke of Edinburgh’s award scheme, he spent time in all of Britain’s National Parks and often slept under canvas for many days at a time.
He learned about Black & White photography during his Art GCSE course at school and enjoyed the magic of developing his own work in the darkroom and quickly became obsessed with taking pictures. Before long, Tim realised that he needed to improve his photographic technique and dived head on into books, magazines and still spends many hours understanding light while in search of the perfect photograph.
While Tim still hasn’t found that, the results of the countless hours of self-teaching are what you see here on his website. His work has been published in a number of magazines and has also been featured on Outdoor Photographer’s website.
