 Timm
Chapman is an award winning photographer whose work hangs in both
private & corporate collections. His images have been featured
in publications all over North America including National Geographic
Traveler, Arizona Highways and United Airlines' Hemispheres' magazine,
Frommer's Travel Guides and others.
Since
purchasing his first ‘real’ camera at 12 years of age,
Timm began his self taught education into the art of photography.
At the time, he never knew it would become a life-long journey of
learning, filled with challenges and reward.
Over
the years he has dabbled in all aspects of the medium, before finally
settling on his greatest love: landscape portraiture; with Mother
Nature as his model
Capturing
Mother Nature is often a daunting task. She has many moods,..many
faces and a spectrum of beauty that is a true challenge to capture
accurately. All elements have to come together to give her the justice
she deserves. Light. Composition. Drama. Each must be present to
capture an image that evokes emotion.
It
is a challenge that Timm equates to 99% frustration and 1%
elation
The
vivid colour saturation and sharp realism in his images’ details
are cornerstones of his chosen equipment. He shoots almost exclusively
with film and those images are recorded in a format four times the
size of standard 35mm. As such he is able to capture colours and
details beyond the grasp of digital.
Born
in the UK and raised in Canada, Timm currently finds home at the
foot of the Superstition Mountains in Arizona; the heart of the
Desert Southwest, however his endless pursuit to capture Mother
Nature in all her glory will continue to take him all over the globe.
Timm
is also an avid NIKON camera collector. He has numerous cameras,
lenses and accessories from Nikon's storied past including 7 space
cameras used by NASA on both the Shuttle and International Space
Station expeditions. These cameras and lenses are quite different
than consumer models and you can learn much more about them and
