Tim Becker

Hello,

Light and light play are what inspires my photography. I am originally trained as a theatrical lighting designer and later lighting designer for fashion, entertainment, broadcast and architecture and this work informs how I "see"

I like a collaboration whenever possible and enjoy exploring an aesthetic that is directly informed by those who I work with.  I like working with light.  I also try to create images that I term an "intimate perspective"  which is vaguely along the lines of painter, Joan Semmel, one of her paintings is the second image in my instagram.  I would describe it as a camera forward perspective, the perspective of someone present and familiar.  I am interested to learn what images, genres that spark your interest so that we might find a commonality.

I look forward to working with you!
