Robert Timothy is a South African photographer.
I am a photographer because I am human and people make pictures.
Highlights of my photography have been varied. For example it was wonderful to see my work on the wall in London’s National Portrait Gallery because I was a finalist in the Taylor Wessing ‘National Portrait Prize’ competition. My work is also in the permanent collection of the Guildhall Art Gallery (City of London).
I've had solo exhibitions (in London and Cape Town) of some photography projects I’ve completed which has been great. But what excites me most about photography is the pictures I’ve yet to create.
You may also have seen my work in books and magazines and you’ll know it’s mine because I tend to mostly shoot people, in natural light and on film.
