A visually detailed account of Tim's work in San Diego and destinations abroad
One of Fluxx Nightclub’s most recent themes was “Aquatic” in which they had an aquarium in the middle of the club, and had 2 dancers act as mermaids and swim back and forth in sexy outfits. (They’re really doing things right, aren’t they?) At the beginning of their unveiling, I shot this photo booth for…
Recently shot a photo booth at a downtown venue “Bootlegger” for the season premier party of the HBO series “Boardwalk Empire”. The venue had this awesome back-room that was specifically for guests who want to enjoy a speak-easy type vibe. What’s really cool about the room is that when you order a drink, the bar…

Love the feel of the photos.December 15, 2011 – 7:45 pm
haha – these are great :)December 15, 2011 – 6:59 pm
yo dude, these are fun! Being a fan of Boardwalk Empire myself, I’d agree. the B&W is perfection.
Wait. What was the magic wand in the back of your car for? Ohhh the things that fall out of your trunk when you do photobooths. And I was wondering if you set up a tripod for your photobooths because they are always the same height but I see here you didn’t, I like the different angles! Way to work the furniture!December 15, 2011 – 1:43 pm
Just the right hint of tone to these B&W’s to give them that 1920′s feel buddy. Great selective use of post to drive the concept home!December 15, 2011 – 12:16 pm
So as you’ve noticed, I’ve been caught up and torn away from my love for my blog the past week – clients have been very demanding, and eager to hire me for gigs :) While I’d LOVE to do a full post on all of these, I don’t think I’d really have the time/spread in…

Couldn’t pick a favorite if I tried. You’re the man, no doubt! Great work!! And I pretty much want to be you when I grow up ;)May 31, 2011 – 9:07 pm
You rock, Tim! It is such a pleasure to work with you. Thanks for all your amazing work. So many more projects to come…May 18, 2011 – 10:55 pm
Hot damn! You are good at what you do, Tim King! Seriously, every single image blows me away. Glad to hear you’ve been busy! xoMay 17, 2011 – 2:10 pm
goodness you ARE one busy guy! every shoot is just amazing and you’re great at capturing so many different settings! i LOVE the Solo glasses shoot. You capture people so naturally. I don’t know when you sleep.May 17, 2011 – 1:39 pm
that cinco demayo photobooth is amazing.May 17, 2011 – 10:46 am
DUDE.
Seriously. I’m speechless.
Not only are ALL of these blowing my mind, but holy shit you HAVE been busy! I can’t hate on our lack of skype dates then, huh?
I am sure you had a great time at the WSJ meetings picking up every tidbit you can from those billionaires! & shooting for Susan G. Komen, what an honor and humbling experience!
The cheese plate shot looks so appetizing, you truly are so good at everything. It infuriates me. Haha. You’re incredibly talented on so many levels, so excited for what’s in your future!
Hey! Hook a sistah up with those wooden shades!
Oh! How do you get these edited so quickly?May 17, 2011 – 7:32 am
lovely pictures. You’ve definitely been busyMay 17, 2011 – 7:23 am
The Andaz Hotel has launched a new theme for it’s Saturday nights – incorporating live recorded DJ sets and CD release parties, so they brought me in to help with the marketing & promotion of the idea. I gathered up a few props for this first go-round of the booth, and I gotta say…wow! The…

Fluxx’s newest theme was Jetset – and while I was out of the country for a couple months, I tried to refer this booth out to other photographers…but the venue decided to wait until I get back! It’s a good sign when a client values your work so much that they’ll wait for you as…

Aww Tim these are great! Looks like a fun night! I love the skis/props! One of your best yet!January 13, 2011 – 4:21 pm
Great job, Tim! Nice use of props/posing – love the jackets/snow. And yeah, sometimes you gotta go that extra mile sometimes, definitely had my share of these types of things setting up shootsDecember 22, 2010 – 2:22 pm
Just when I think you couldn’t get any dumber, you go and do something like this…and TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF! Haha nice work man, these shots came out great. Glad you’re still alive lolDecember 15, 2010 – 10:34 pm
The scarfs/jackets/mugs/snowballs are awesome. Great work Tim! Let me know next time you do one of these!December 14, 2010 – 3:50 pm

I regularly do the Intervention Photobooth on Sundays, however when the Andaz Hotel approached me about doing a photobooth for Moët, I immediately lit up with excitement. Moët is launching a new product called “Moët on Ice,” which is champagne on ice (which is surprisingly really good!) and they have been hosting events all over…

Can you teach me how to do a photo booth? Like all the posing/lighting/framing etc?? This looks like a good thing to do at stuff like weddings & reception type events. Well, maybe not the bathing suit stuffOctober 25, 2010 – 4:31 pm
Great work as always man, this set is one of the best I’ve seen from you…October 11, 2010 – 10:39 am
OMG love these! Thanks so much this was such a fun day!September 13, 2010 – 1:49 pm
Whoa! Nice work man, these look so legit! One of your best booths yet!September 8, 2010 – 5:03 pm
Tim, I’ve set it before, and I’ll say it again. Every time I come to your blog, your work impresses me even more each time! Your photos keep getting better and better, and every time I think you can’t really do much to make them any better, you do something like this…and it blows me away! I love these photos, and I can’t wait until we get to work together again soon! Hope things are treating you well (it looks like they are!) Take care, SSeptember 8, 2010 – 12:48 pm
OMG these look like so much fun!!!September 7, 2010 – 2:02 pm

Great setup…lighting is super soft…how did you get that look…September 6, 2010 – 1:13 pm
This was another booth I was really excited about. Yeah, even MORE excited than I am with other sporadic events that ask I bring a photobooth to the party. Why? Well, one of the main reasons I like photobooths is because I like buying stuff. Not sure why, but I just like the feeling of…

I was really excited about doing this booth – Fluxx nightclub is a particular favorite spot of mine because of their approach towards entertainment. Any night I’ve been there, I’ve found that they’ve always found a unique way to bring new ideas to the common nightlife scene. You can find anything from cirque-de-soliel dancers to…

Nice job on the backlighting! Really did a good job in creating the space-odessy type look & feel to the photo booth! Props look like they were a lot of fun too!August 9, 2010 – 12:09 pm
So I’ll be covering the Hard Rock hotel’s Intervention party throughout the duration of the summer this year. I’m particularly excited about it because I’ve been given the freedom to create a cool interactive campaign that features a lot of the locals in a style similar to advertisements for the events. We did the first…

Ashley Goodwin - HAHAHA. THIS ISSSSSSSS my post today! HOW FUNNY! This is the pretty, not so gritty version! But mermaids and er’rything! Your photobooths always blow me away! So creative and well-lit!
And yes, the back of your car is ridiculous. Especially when a magic wand falls out the trunk? Weird.December 28, 2011 – 1:37 pm
