Tim Kelly
Tim Kelly is definitely one of the few. Celebrating forty years in professional photography, he has not only "seen it all" but has participated in the cutting edge of several of it's landmark advances. A teacher and mentor to portrait photographers for twenty years already, he had already paid his dues, having worked in nearly every speciality of the industry. Before soloing as a portrait only artist, there were thousands of high end weddings, large scale product and advertising, NYC fashion, corporate and industrial for the very biggest companies - and yes, even seniors by the thousands and undergrads by the tens of thousands. In addition to all this, Kelly has always processed, printed, retouched and finished his own work.
Today, known for his highly awarded, gallery grade portraiture, and beautiful state-of-the-art studio, he takes great pleasure in passing on as much tradition and technique as he does his knowledge of technology and business.
Kelly still makes every signature bearing print himself in his own lab, equipped with traditional and the latest digital output gear. There are six people in his studio operation and he is currently investing in his next generation, as daughter Julia has moved into the camera room, faithfully continuing the Kelly brand, while adding her own youthful variations.
Most of professional photography knows the name, the look and reputation, as Tim is one of the industries most prolific and sought after authors, and experienced educators. But, as can be expected after a long and successful career, Kelly is opting out of the photo-educational "circuit" and limiting his personal appearances and workshops to do new things for the profession. He has created his own e-commerce site where his current books and DVD's are sold worldwide - everyday! There also in his "ProShop" are dozens of free downloads of sessions, articles, lighting diagrams and the like. Keep an eye on the timkellyportraits site!
Tim is an artist who has enjoyed success in several mediums including graphic art, oil and watercolor painting, drawing and etching in addition to music and photography. He considers himself a "blessed man", having been able to sustain a great career doing the very thing he loves the most; photographic fine-art portraits, painting and hand made black and white prints.
