CLARE CLARKSON DEVELOPMENT

This is a fabulous, big, ground floor, accessible photographic studio, so it's easy to shoot people (not literally), furniture and scenery. Tim Nathan and I worked with Tessa from Omega Studios to present her mid-century items – close-ups of jewellery, models wearing jewellery and scarves, and set-ups using tables, chairs and vases. All Tim's photographs were excellent. It was a pleasure to work with him and use the images for print and digital publicity purposes.

When I first looked at Tim Nathan's recent works I used the words 'many have witnessed such scenes but few have captured them’, of course though we ourselves are captive to nature's grand illusions and stand marveling in its elusive presence. What we witness in the evening is gone by morning and so too, the morning skies and horizons are long gone by nightfall.
For Tim Nathan this recent work is a marked end point in what seems to have been a personal journey. What went before were fleeting abstractions and diverse figurative sketches, in which the artist is playing with form and pathos with bold yet delicate strokes of the ink pen.
What we are witnessing is a discovery of the world through glass again, a return to the photographic. Here in this new zen like phase, that is expressive, yet both rigid and disciplined, Tim rests his eyes on that which we seek but never find, only to discover that it was there right in front
of our eyes all the time.
It is as if the drama and anticipation of changing skies and moody seas echo the complication and confusion of our troubled minds. These scenes witnessed through a lens and cast within a frame speak of personal human pain, experiences and circumstances, temper our suffering. The sea and sky bring us a calm wonder and visceral moments in time.
Nature's visual gift to us is that of peace and joy.

Amazing studio, Tim goes out of his way to accommodate your needs.
