Working with our Clients

Trusted by global brands to provide outstanding commercial photography across the specialised fields of automotive, aviation, and commercial vehicle photography, Commercial Photographer Tim Wallace has a unique and adaptable style that provides quality creative digital images that meet his clients’ brief and go on to inspire their customers beyond.
Tim believes very firmly in building amazing relationships with all our clients and the agencies that we engage with to offer reliable constant results. He works mainly through reputation and recommendation and is immensely proud of what we have managed to achieve with our clients over the years, creating imagery that not only delivers visually through advertising but also that remains strong, sometimes actually becoming a major part of our clients’ actual branding identity.
Working with a wide range of agencies and brands such as McLaren, Aston Martin, and Peugeot in the automotive industry as well as Terberg, Dennis Eagle, and Pall-Ex through our logistics, and manufacturing work.

“Being out there shooting, is where things happen”
Creativity is the fundamental key to any successful commercial photography when mixed with a strongly defined shooting style. Commercially it is very important for the client to choose a photographer based not only on their obvious technical ability but most importantly on their 'style' of work. True creativity still exists in the capture and control of light with your subject mixed with a strong creative vision of the world.
Tim is very well known within the automotive industry for his open approach and his passion to push the creative boundaries to produce the best imagery possible for his clients. Regarded by many as one of today's leading UK commercial car photographers with a unique strong style of work and passionate approach that inspires not only his clients but also their customers from the outputs achieved, something that is reflected through the brands that he works with and awards such as, British Advertising Photographer, and Professional Photographer of the Year, as well as Car Photographer of the Year at the Motor Industry Awards. In 2021 he was announced as Commercial Photographer of the Year at the British Photography Awards in London for his work with our client McLaren.
