Tim graduated in Illustration at Kent Institute of Art & Design in 1997, though he established a Fine Art practice through drawing, collage and mixed-media painting. Following several exhibitions, his work subsequently evolved through multiple-screen and site-specific video installation and 16mm film. Tim now presents films through international film festivals.

Tim's work explores representations of femininity within cinema and the seductive apparatus of cinema that facilitates them. Tim works optically with 16mm and 35mm film and has evolved a unique technique of re-shooting his own material in order to manipulate speed and highlight the presence and material of the film apparatus. Tim recently completed a project for which the Arts Council funded a 35mm print for exhibition through international film festivals.

Tim has also established himself as a cinematographer in the film industry. His Fine Art and experimental film background has provided an outstanding basis for this progression which he embarked upon following his completion of a 16mm Film Production Diploma in 2003. Since then Tim has directed photography in numerous drama productions, music videos, commercials and experimental projects with other artists, while continuing to make his own experimental films. Tim has worked the most recent digital cinema cameras, High-Definition formats alongside Super 16mm and 35mm film.

Tim has worked as a lecturer for ten years and also delivers seminars at the British Film Institute.
