Tim Allen

Tim Allen MA is a Professional Photographer based in Melbourne, Australia.

Tim’s photographic journey stems from an early interest in creative arts and a yern to travel. Discovering new space has opened the opportunity to the viewer to experience and explore the earth in finer detail.

With over 2 decades of dedication to camera craft, Tim’s personal motivation can develop countless moments that all share a common goal; push visual and emotional boundaries to a progressive audience. 

The work can be divided into commercial and evolving passion projects. Tim has the technical know-how to deliver a unified look.

Whether an image is to document society, reflect a cultural juxtaposition in the environment or convey a message to the customer, it is imperative that photography evokes a feeling the satiates the observer. 

The best way to achieve this approach is by working closely with subject and client alike to interpret their brief and vision. This enables Tim to produce contemporary, engaging and innovative photographic content consistently.
