English born Tim Clinch is a professional photographer with over thirty years experience.
Tim works with many clients in the UK, Europe and the USA. His clients include most of the top magazines worldwide including Architectural Digest, Traditional Home, Food & Wine, Luxury Spafinder and Departures in the US, House & Garden, Country Living, Tatler, Harpers & Queen and Waitrose Food Illustrated in the UK and a wide selection of European publications. In addition he has published and collaborated on many books, including Spanish Style with Kate, published in London and New York by Merrell. He has recently completed English Hideways with writer Meg Nolan for Rizzoli in New York, to be published in 2010, which involved five weeks struggling with the wonderful English weather.
Tim lived in Spain for ten years, in Madrid and Cadiz, before relocating to Gascony, where his collaboration with Kate began. These days, Tim is rather more of a nomad, splitting his time (when not travelling for work) between England, Bulgaria, France, Spain and his newly discovered passion, the wonderful country of Ukraine.
Tim's photographic philosophy is simple...keep it simple!
'I've never been one of those photographers obsessed with equipment, rather, I've always been obsessed with pictures. In the digital age there seem to be far too many people determined to make things complicated...be it with software, profiles, megapixels...whatever, it seems all too easy to forget what it's all about......fabulous pictures. As a professional photographer, obviously, I work with some pretty serious kit, but I firmly believe that I can help you take better pictures by means of composition, a few basic techniques and a few 'tricks of the trade' using the equipment you already have.
I remember the first time I met Kate. It was in the depths of winter.We arrived at Camont and with little fuss, a big curl of fresh Toulouse sausage was placed to grill over the welcoming open fireplace. A bowl of salad, a crusty loaf and a bottle of wine were placed on the table. Friendships were forged and a great time was had by all.it was NOT haute cuisine in any shape or form, but it was a wonderful and memorable meal.
This is how I want to present my photography at Camont, like the way Kate cooks. Simple, honest, natural and beautiful'.
