We pride ourselves on building very strong and lasting client relationships, believing the key to a truly successful project is not only in the creative and technical aspects but also through the work we produce as being seen as valued 'assets' to our clients and thier brands, delivering those projects both to a deadline and within budget. We understand the importance of brand guidelines as well as ensuring that our new image assets flow through into the client’s current asset library seamlessly allowing easy integration into existing material.

Tim has received multiple photography awards for his commercial projects over the last 20 years of operating within the transport industry. Notably, in 2021, he was honoured with the title of 'Commercial Photographer of the Year' at the British Photography Awards for his exceptional automotive photography for our client McLaren for their MSO and accessories brochures.

He is creative at heart with an eye for detail and a passion to always produce new impactful, dynamic work for our clients that matches their brand and campaign requirements.

"Creating great dynamic and creative vehicle photography is always our clients’ main draw to AmbientLife, however, I think it's also our time served experience within the transport sector that really counts for my clients. Sure, we can go into studio or on location and shoot images of fantastic cars and vehicles but often the real complex work goes on behind the scenes before we reach that stage to pull all the elements together to allow us those days where we get to shoot those images the way that they are anticipated. This is where I work closely with agencies and clients alike to ensure that we have all the required planning and logistics in place to allow for a smooth and creative shoot. If you can put the work in at the planning stage properly then your shoot will always be much more successful.”
