Hey, my name is Tim.

I'm a recovering tech entrepreneur now working as a full-time professional photographer based in Hertfordshire, UK. I specialise in architecture, but my passion is trees and forests.

I left tech in 2017 and had a breakdown shortly afterwards, which nearly led me to take my own life. Having a fantastic therapist and spending lots of time in nature helped fix me up, and helped me rediscover my love for photography.

A few recent woodland images are below.

@davidrusling ahhh, I grew up on the Staffs/Derbyshire border in Ilam/Dovedale. It's such a beautiful part of the world with many fond childhood memories, but I was so sad to see the ancient ash forest on the Staffordshire side of the gorge absolutely ravaged by chalara/ash dieback a few years back. I managed to speak to the ranger and it had taken hold in about three years. It was like witnessing winter in the middle of summer.
