International recognition of Tim's Lighting Technique
Lighting manufacturer Quantum are featuring Tim's work to promote their light weight portable lighting system
Tim's highly innovative lighting technique is born out of a desire to be able to work quickly and spontaneously in a wide variety of locations whilst not compromising the quality and control of light.
Lighting manufacturer Quantum were so impressed with the results of this technique that they are featuring Tim's work to the UK and US audience of professional photographers.
Says Tim, "Photography is literaly painting with light. A truly dramatic image needs a truly dramatic environment and this sometimes means shooting in the sea at sunset or in the middle of a wind storm. The wireless portable system which is carried by an assistant and manouvered on a pole gives enormous flexibility and fantastic control over the quality of light. It is pleasing to have recognition from overseas for the endless hours that me and my team have spent perfecting these techniques." Some of Tim's work including some of his published work in WOW can be seen featured by Quantum here
The shot was created totally "in camera" with no postproduction techniques required. The seagulls were enticed into the shot and over the sun by Tim's wife Emma placing a Checquers beef and onion pasty on the sand behind the couple.
