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 much 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 studied 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 his own workflow needed to evolve, moving to a more considered and deliberate approach of making – rather than taking – pictures of Britain’s great outdoors.
His work has been published in many magazines and websites, and has been commissioned by commercial clients across Europe. The list of clients who have used his images include companies such as Google Store, ASUS, Canonical, Hanspree, Mozilla, Serco, Bonusprint, Albelli, Kelkoo and Dennis Publishing.
