Tim-Thiel

Biography

After training as a photographer, Tim Thiel spent 2½ years in Paris working as assistant to Peter Knaup and Claus Wickrath. He has been freelance since 1993, photographing people, fashion and still lifes for national and international advertising agencies, publishers and direct clients.

Tim Thiel is a freelance photographer and member of the German Association of Freelance Photographers (BFF).

His photographs reflect a love for staging, with nothing left to chance when it comes to clarity of form. A detailed creative process produces work that makes an impact with its colour and graphic effect.
His art reflects a spontaneity and creativity that result in a natural and contemporary photographic perception.

Every concept inspires him time and again in its own unique way.




Film Production 

Since 2008, Tim Thiel has been offering both photo and film productions. 
We accompany you from the conception to the finished product. 
 
With many years of experience in photography in Germany and abroad, Tim is available for you as DOP, director and/or producer, depending on the complexity of the project. 
 
We have filmed all over the world already.
If you wish, we can take over work steps from model casting and location scouting to editing and grading of the film. 
 
Tim and his team are familiar with telling stories and staging concepts. We also pay great attention to detail and mood in our film productions. 
 
This results in high-quality film material, which, like Tim's images, has a strong colour and graphic effect.
