The Work of Tim Wallace

Tim Wallace is a commercial photographer that specializes in locomotives. He’s worked with a range of clientele such as Aston Martin, Lexus, Ferrari, etc. He is known for his strong lighting ability and use of his environment. He is able to work on location as well as in the studio. From looking through his car photography, they all seem to have a similar style. His use of lighting and location give off a sense of drama. Being that he shoots cars and trucks, he really captures the idea that this object is in motion. Whether it is in his studio shots or shots on location.

His use of shadow and reflection provide a sense of dimension that the car isn’t just some flat object. The way the lighting hits the metal adds this airbrushed look that makes the car feel luxurious, sleek and sophisticated. His shots on location are pretty amazing. Each is perfectly set for the particular type of car being shot. Some of the photographs with the dark background really bring light to the car. Your eye is immediately drawn to the car and its fine details. These photographs are very well composed and are aesthetically pleasing to look at. I am really big on cars and always go to the auto show every year at the Javits Center. After looking at Tim’s work, I admire cars even more.

    Certainly a light car on a dark background is eye catching just as any high contrast image is. My question is: Wallace’s work makes you admire cars more or makes you admire skill in presenting cars? Certainly looking at his photographs we think of the feeling of personal freedom one gets from a car and not being stuck in traffic or breathing the results.
