About Tim

Just like Captain James T. Kirk, Timothy Baur is an Iowa man. Tim’s love of photography started as a teenager in Austin, Minnesota (home of Spam & Hormel chili) with a 35mm Vivitar camera and the passion continues to this day.
Tim moved on to the University of Arizona and a career as a dive instructor. I know what you’re thinking, Arizona and diving? Not a natural combo, so off to Los Angeles and a new occupation….photo assistant. He apprenticed under Bob Grigg and took off on his own 5 years later in 1989. Speaking of taking off….he was getting his pilot’s license at the same time.
So many passions mixed into one, Tim manages to get in many of these as well as merging them together. He spent his teens and early 20’s as a drummer in several bands and still plays to this day as well as composing music. He did get his pilot’s license and flies planes as well as helicopters and RC. If that’s not enough up in the air for you, let’s launch into the fact that he also paramotors. From the air to the sea, Tim still fits into his dive gear after all these years and recently spent some time underwater in the South Pacific.
25 years of professional photography and still looking for new experiences and creative pursuits.
Loving life and capturing it ALL!
