Team Members

Working on the slopes and mountain faces, Tim has always wanted to keep his teams to a minimum.

With a background in minimalist photoshoot teams, Tim is able to work quickly and efficiently, concentrating on creative issues of getting the shots rather than people management of an entourage.

Client List
We have a long and varied client list from 20 years of shooting worldwide, and it has often meant double or triple bookings that have forced hard choices of who to work with. As a result we have had the chance to work with a lot of the major brand names in the UK and European outdoor sports industry, from retail chains such as Snow and Rock and Blacks PLC to distributors and manufacturers such as Rossignol. Stock photography is sold to the specialist press and to such clients as travel companies like Inghams, Neilson or toursit offices.
