Tim Kent, Photographer


Tim Kent, a car photographer out of the UK who shot the much known Chevy Malibu ads, did a recent interview with PDN in which he talks about his style and the new grounds car photography is making. Read it online here and check out his other work on his online portfolio (well worth spending the time to check out) here: http://www.timkent.co.uk/

9/8 Update (Thanks to David Hobby @ Strobist for pointing this out):
Be sure to check out the break down of his lighting he did for a Hummer ad too: http://www.pdnonline.com/pdn/magazine/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003835303

Watch this



Unless it's one of those faked photos of a rare Brazilian tribe or a burning town in the Middle East, I'm a sucker for photo journalism. Perhaps it's because it's such a different approach to using a camera that I'm used to but either way, great images are just that and Luis Sinco has some stellar work in his presentation on Marine Lance Corporal James Blake Miller. I won't comment on how I feel about the war but I've got friends who are or who have been over there. This presentation just made me remember to take them out to multiple lunches or buy them a beer keg the next time I see them.
