SheffTim's photostream  

I'm a photography enthusiast with an art and design training (Leeds College of Art); also a teacher of computing & technology. I combine a love of art & design, technology, an interest in people and the world around me in photography.

Climbing once played a major part in my life; I'm the text author of 'Cornish Rock', a photographic topographical guide to climbs in West Cornwall [1996].

I've moved between several cities and regions, met a lot of interesting people - hopefully this has made me open to people and experiences on their own merits. I try and reflect this in my photography.

My photographic interests are mainly concerned with capturing the natural world (particularly flowers), buildings and architecture, people and portraits, art generally (I've also liked graffiti and street art since when a teen; few try and record it - I do.) and macro & close-up photography.

My photographic philosophy is: Every shot is an experiment; you only get better by practice, we learn from each other and each other's photographs. Flickr is a place of inspiration.

For each of us - it's a journey. None of us are the same; one reason it's so nice to see other peoples' work.

If you're one of my contacts, I do make an effort to view new work on a regular basis.

I don't licence through Getty. If you want to use an image please contact me by mail. I'm reasonable about these things.

May the light - and shade - be with you.









An assignment set I submitted to the Guardian Camera Club was reviewed on the newspaper's website in 2011. www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/gallery/2011/jul/25/photo...

Some of my photographs of flowers have received enough votes from other Flickr members to be invited into the below groups:
