A visually detailed account of Tim's work in San Diego and destinations abroad
Last weekend, I ran into a long-time acquaintance of mine during one of my regular nightlife assignments. I’ve known him for a for about 5 years now, but we’ve never really worked together. He mentioned that he needed some head-shots for a talent agency up in LA. *Side note – January has been FILLED with...
Tim,
Justin looks great!! Good job!January 21, 2012 – 7:46 pm
These portraits are GQ worthy! I’m glad I read your post also because I’ve been debating about magic sharp.January 16, 2012 – 10:17 pm
@Maria – thanks! I currently have White Lightning 3200′s, but for studio portraits, I think 1600 or even 800 watts would be enough. For this specific shoot, I actually just used 1 strobe, but 2 would be optimal.January 16, 2012 – 2:28 pm
Great portraits! And a very helpful post too. I’ve been wondering how the beauty dish works. I’m thinking of getting studio lights, could you remind please which ones you have and what did you use for this shoot specifically. Thank you!January 16, 2012 – 2:23 pm
@Dustin, for sure man! Looking forward to seeing the posts!January 16, 2012 – 2:15 pm
Looks good Tim. I love the final setup you came up with and I like all the different poses. I might have to use some of those poses for guys if that’s ok?January 16, 2012 – 1:18 pm
These are awesome!January 16, 2012 – 6:10 am
Whoa, I LOVE these. Different from your usual stuff, but still very “Tim King.” Great work!January 16, 2012 – 6:01 am
When Maria first brought up the idea of the trip to Russia to me, I completely dismissed it. Russia? Me? Not anytime soon. (Or so I thought.) I’ve always had Russia on my bucketlist, but for some reason I’ve always considered it to be something I would do a few years down the line. I...

Great post Tim. I’m loving that quote “Happy people never look at their watch” :) I’ll have to remember that one.December 30, 2011 – 10:19 am
Tim!
What an amazing post!
I was in Russia in 2007. And it was a shock for me too, but pleasant one. Everything was different comparing with Europe, but at the same time there are a lot of things in common.
I adore St. Petersburg and its bohemian, full of history places.
Moscow impressed with Red Square (I really loved!), Cathedral of Christ the Savior, Bolshoi Theater, Novodevichy Monastery… history was written in these places.
I would go one more time to Russia …only for food probably. It is really delicious and unique! And of course, bread bear! :)
It’s huge country and undoubtedly there are so many places to see and new things to experience.
Thanks a lot for sharing! Wish you new interesting trips!
:)December 27, 2011 – 1:06 am
Tim, be my BFF and let me in on your secrets of photography, posing and post-prod and I will be happy fo’eva. Awesome as always!December 23, 2011 – 2:49 pm
Nice photos as always Tim! Great post that obviously took a good amount of time to write. Awesome to read about that couchsurfer web developer. Sounds right up my alley!
Now I REALLY want to go to Russia.December 23, 2011 – 1:37 pm
Man I want to have a photo walk with you!! Come to Austin, Tx bro. Those menus were insane and that dude unibrow was CRAZY!!!!!! And Masha………….. nice photosDecember 23, 2011 – 1:02 pm

Over the past few years working in the nightlife industry, I’ve met a few types of unique entertainers. While a great DJ can really get a club going, I feel that these guys can really give a venue that extra edge in terms of making an impression on someone. To name a few, Nick Ivory...

This is sick post!! I hate my life right now that i had to back out! I SHOULD”VE BEEN HAD BLOG, call me out and I’ll post your linksDecember 12, 2011 – 11:35 pm
Sexy. Just so sexy. The subject AND the lighting.December 10, 2011 – 10:09 am
That last one is gorgeous…well really of them are. But that last one. well done.December 9, 2011 – 9:47 am
These shots are killer! If you ever need someone to carry your bags I would love to tag along and see how you set up your lights for a shoot like this.December 8, 2011 – 4:52 pm
I think you are the lighting guru. Love the shots!December 8, 2011 – 2:43 pm
@Maria – used a softbox with 2 external 580′s sitting on the couch with him for the first shot, then for the desert, one main softbox as there was too much wind for other lights to stand aloneDecember 8, 2011 – 12:52 pm
Great character. Great client. Great story. And just like Ashley said – BADASS shots! You did a great job with the studio light too. What did you use? flashes, a soft box?December 8, 2011 – 12:34 pm
Nice job, Tim, love the lighting, you rocked this one. :)December 8, 2011 – 12:29 pm
Great share, Tim. What hits home with post is that I, myself, am a trumpet player. I might have to ask one of my photog friends to do a shoot with me…December 8, 2011 – 9:01 am
These are badass! Not your typical trumpet player! :)
Very well written too, my friend!December 8, 2011 – 7:50 am
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
Loews Coronado welcomed a new chef to the team this past month. Gabriel Morales just recently moved to San Diego, taking with him some pretty extensive experience from LA’s hot-spots Boa Steakhouse and the Beverly Hills Polo Lounge. I had the chance to talk to him a few minutes before the shoot, and he’s actually...

A San Diego Holiday Portrait Session at Standley Recreation center in UTC featuring my friend Richard Bloom and his wife Apryl Bloom, along with their new addition, Patrick the dog. Patrick almost kills a local 6 year old girl during the shoot, but luckily any real harm was avoided.

Great shoot Tim! I love the outfits! The yellow jacket looks great on her! Not that many people can pull of that strong of a color, and she does it perfectly!October 30, 2010 – 6:07 pm

Great shoot, Tim! I love how you incorporate the style into this one, she (or you) did a great job with the wardrobe selection! Nice work as always!October 17, 2010 – 2:22 pm
Wow she’s gorgeous – probably made this shoot pretty easy for you, huh?October 17, 2010 – 12:59 pm
Great photos Tim, love the look & feel combined with the fall atmosphere in the background.October 17, 2010 – 12:45 pm
Shot a quick engagement session in the downtown area of Chicago…let me tell you – take a taxi or a bus! I can’t believe how bad the parking is in Chicago…(and I thought San Francisco was bad!) However, I must say that the chicago scenery has some of the most gorgeous city-scapes and lake views...

Oh I love the night shots! They look so cool!! How do you get that look in the photos, like there’s no harshness to them or blurriness or anything, but they’re at night?September 28, 2010 – 10:37 am
Had Brett in the studio to shoot some portraits for random PR usage – any press releases, flyer design, online media etc can incorporate these shots to enhance his brand. It’s funny that when you think of DJ portraits, you imagine that cheesy-import-car-crouching pose with one hand pulled back and the other aimed towards the...

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...

Wow Tim these shots are great! Good to see what your style is like with these kind of photos – will definitely keep you in mind for friends in the future!August 13, 2010 – 10:20 pm
Great photos as always Tim! It’s really cool to see your style show through in all the different things you do with photography. I think this is the first time we’ve seen these types of photos from you – and they’re amazing! Keep up the great work!August 11, 2010 – 11:09 am

I would totally hire that guy in the picture. Based on the picture alone, he is clearly at least as competent as Washington Mutual’s executive leaders.April 21, 2010 – 4:03 pm
Aw she looks so happy in that photo! Even though I already graduated, can I still do these? ahh the memories…lolApril 20, 2010 – 12:29 pm
Since I’ve been doing a lot of posts lately about photo-walks, I figured I would change it up a bit and give you a little glimpse of some of the other work-related elements of my photography. This past week’s photos do a great job of demonstrating the variety in my work, and I had a...

Wow, Tim. This is really cool – I never knew you did other stuff besides the club photos – you definitely have a great talent on your hands, that’s for sure. I’m really impressed with your versatility as a photographer – most people are usually pretty good at one thing, but you seem to be able to do many things exceptionally well. I hope to work with you sometime in the not-so-distant future.August 24, 2010 – 2:10 pm

I’d like to see more of the architectural photography you have done.
I’m looking to get into the field and was curious to know what type of lighting I should use, tripods, equipment, etc.
Can you give me any pointers?January 23, 2010 – 8:33 pm
That last pic of the ribbon is awesome. Diggin the b/wJanuary 23, 2010 – 8:41 am
