About Timothy Place

Based now near Chicago, my original inspiration to photograph seriously occurred while in college and during a trip to Michigan's Upper Peninsula during the fall color change-the placewas a veritable fairyland of brilliant colors and textures! From that initial inspiration I gradually moved into portraiture and weddings, managing a small studio for a time, then a bit of commercial work. Over the years my vision has been refined by what and how I see and what I can cause the camera to record. I like to keep the images as pure as possible, using very little enhancement or development techniques. As a result, each of my images bears something of my feeliings and sensitivities, and a part of me and my experience is contained in each. Our world is chock-full of images, yet I feel room exists for more, as our personal lives are and will remain unlimited in range and scope.
