Tim Brumbeloe’s passion for photography began as a childhood hobby. With the help and inspiration of his parents, Tim fell in love with photography at an early age, when he received his first film camera. By the time he was 12, he had a darkroom and his study of print making had begun. Tim learned the process of silver printing as well as numerous alternative processes.. Following his dreams and polishing his craft for more than three decades, Tim has turned his once hobby into a livelihood.
As a teenager, Tim was invited to spend time with his sister living in Germany. This travel ignited a passion for European scenes, spaces and life that continues to bring him back, year after year. The travel as a teenager, changed the path of Tim’s work. In particular, a few early trips to Italy. Walking through the small villages with a back pack full of photography gear. Un sure of what or how the images would be used, Tim burned countless rolls of film. The light and textures of these Italian villages have been the inspiration for much of his work.
Some of Tim’s work is literal. Some series, such as Pentimento or A Different Space, are a complete creation from the artist, not to be found in the real world. With his latest work, Tim’s concentration has been on architecture. With each series, you will see the common thread that has become Tim’s thumb print: the careful balance of all elements, and most importantly, the respect and innate sense for the light.
Today, Tim continues to transform his work in new ways. He has become a master of digital manipulation and printing. His fine art has been on display in galleries including Tribeca, San Diego, Santa Fe, even Italy. Tim currently owns a thriving commercial photography studio in Fort Wayne, Indiana and works with a long list of agencies and corporations. His Commercial work has been awarded numerous Addy Awards and he is often hired for fine art commissions.
