Timothy Dowdall combines creativity, 30 years of industry experience and a relentless passion for the art of photography.
Fine art black and white is his signature style, and it shows in all aspects of his work. Fluent in film formats from 35mm to 4x5, Timothy has embraced the digital image and the ever changing environment of photography in the current technological age.
Timothy started his career in photography in Hollywood in 1980, He managed a small camera store and studio on the sunset strip. Soon he began assisting Hungarian Photographer Martin Szipal (Martin S. Martin as he was known in Hollywood) in both the studio and the darkroom. " Martin was the most eccentric person I have ever met, but we connected, I learned so much from him".
“I love finding new and interesting ways to approach my art, it drives me creatively. I consider portraiture a real art. Each person brings their own unique dynamics to a setting. My style of shooting is laid back, creative and intimate. I strive to create a connection with my subject, when that happens it is then communicated to the viewer. Why so much black and white and so little color?, For me black and white captures the feelings that lie beneath the surface of color. But I do work in color.
