BIO
Timothy has spent over three decades turning celebrity into iconography — creating portraits that are as intimate as they are larger-than-life. His camera has captured the playful, the personal, and the unforgettable, from Hollywood’s biggest names to the faces just beginning to shape culture.
He’s the eye behind movie posters, magazine covers, and album images that have become part of our collective memory — pictures you know even if you don’t know you know them. His work has been honored with the Lucie Award for International Photographer of the Year and exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide.
Timothy’s books include Portraits, Indian Larry, Hollywood Pinups, and Match Prints, a collaboration with Jim Marshall — each one a testament to pictures that outlast the moment.
A MOMENT WITH TIMOTHY
What’s underrated?
Taking a moment.
Who would play you in the movie version of your life?
Billy Bob Thorton.
What’s the strangest thing you’ve done to get the shot?
I was shooting an album cover and wanted to do it at this famous building in Times Square that has a big clock on the front of it. So I talked my way into getting up there at night by paying off the super of the building. To get the shot I had to hang half way off the building with no rigging, just my assistant holding onto the back of my belt buckle. I got the shot…and I survived to tell the tale.
Martini order?
So dirty I tell the bartender to spit in it.
