Tim's Photographic Journey

Photo Contest Winner

2010-07-12T22:29:00.000-07:00

I am excited to announce that 5 of my photos have recently been chosen by a panel of seven judges in the Hoag Hospital Photo Contest as winners. The photos which were chosen will appear in the newly remodeled Hoag Hospital in Irvine, Ca. as part of the hospitals 87 million dollar remodel project.
There were a total of 100 photos chosen from over 2,000 entries submitted.
These 5 photos will be displayed in August in the hospital and I along with my family will receive a tour of the hospital.
These are only a small sample of all the wild flower images I have in my library. I enjoy creating art from nature so if your home decor designer, art buyer or someone who loves art like this I am available for commissioned projects.

Digital Signatures

2010-03-04T15:19:00.000-08:00

TC Photography & Design will soon offer the ability for my clients to digitally sign contracts offering clients the added convenience to do business with TC Photography & Design. As we continue to innovate our services and products we look forward to developing new business relationships into the future.

Currently we ask that all new clients and existing clients continue to sign releases and contracts via email and or PDF, which can be downloaded and printed then faxed back to our studio/location.

Note: All images still or video are © 2010 Tim Copeland unless otherwise documented in a contract.
All images are limited use unless other rights are granted such as exclusive or other negotiated terms.
Certain releases are also required for the client to sign such as property release should the assignment require photographs to be taken on the primises of a commercial location where a product or trade mark may be in view.

Connect OC

I was asked to photograph the event by the event Coordinator Debbie Miller, pictured here with Paul on Twitter, so I guess these social networking sites can work. It was a great turn out and met some new contacts. Took about 60-80 photos at the Hilton in Costa Mesa. Good fun and new contacts can't beat that.
More photos up at Connect OC on Facebook.

Product Photography Assignment

2010-02-18T09:49:00.000-08:00

I was asked to photograph glass and crystal objects for a trade show that was to take place in San Francisco, the images I produced where to be displayed as part of their trade show booth..
I just received word from the one of the Corporate representatives saying the photos worked out great and they were very happy with the images.

Again, this was a situation where I was asked to produce images within a very short time frame. I was able to produce the images in about a 24 hour period from the time I was contacted initially to do the assignment.
Here are a few comments from the sales rep from Ohara Corporation as well as a couple photos.

Tim,
I just wanted to thank you for being able to photograph our products on such short notice and turn around time. The photos came out great, you're very creative and did a great job. Photographing crystal and glass objects the size of a nickel isn't easy.
We'll definitely pass your business cards around and keep you in mind the next time we need professional photography. You even picked up and delivered the samples to our office when it was pouring down rain, saving me time and a drive, that was really appreciated.

Nice doing business with you-

Janet K.
Ohara Corporation

Commercial Photography project

2010-02-18T08:59:00.000-08:00

wow! February is half over and I've been busy. I just completed an interesting assignment for an advertising company, Schmidt Advertising & Design Schmidt A&D contacted me via my web site for a next day assignment needing me to photograph the installation of a commercial panel; a day later I was asked if I could do Time-Lapse Photography. Although I didn't have the equipment/software to do it, I adapted to the clients needs and purchased the equipment and did a few dry runs so that I would be ready for the final "big installation" of the panels themselves on the final day of the project.

The still photos and the HD Time-Lapse video came out great and the client couldn't have been more happy.

Not only was my client happy that I could do the job in less than 24 hour notice, they where very happy about the outcome of the photos / and Time-Lapse Photography.

My client loved the fact that I took the initiative and adapted to their needs and provided them with Time-Lapse Photography even though I'd not actually done that type of photography and it wasn't part of the original Purchase Order.

This is an example of how TC Photography & Design get's the job done for their clients, especially when the clients are willing to communicate what their needs are and expectations which helps TC Photography & Design to help our clients complete the job successfully, on time and on budget.

This is not the first time I've been contacted via my web site by clients who operate from across the country from my current location in Southern California. It's a new world and new frontier and TC Photography & Design is in the forefront of technology servicing our clients.

As part of our service I do travel as requested.

My first assignment in 2010. A company who's been in the optics business for 70 years.

As a global leader in optics, this company makes everything from wafers for hard drives to military applications including telescopes. I was honored that they ask me to photograph their products for their up and coming trade show in San Francisco.

The idea that hundreds or thousands of people people will be seeing my images at the show, which reflects a company with such a long history of producing great products is to me a dream realized.

I worked hard in my studio and produced some really nice shots over the weekend, I hope to upload soon.

Some come follow my journey.

Till next entry....

So, here we are half way through January of 2010. I wanted to add a site so that many of you who may only take a few minutes to look at my web site see certain photos, know that there are quite a variety of subject matter I love to shoot. So here it is, write this down. www.jpgmag.com /people/tcphotodesign67
That will take you to my photos.

I hope your all having a good new year so far. I wish there was some way I could put my photography skills to work helping the people of Haiti. Very sad situation over there. Let's face it, our time is drawing near. The, "big one" is due to hit LA area any day, God help us all when that happens.

That's it for now.

Be safe and take lots of photos.

December 31 2009 Last blog entry

2009-12-31T14:45:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone,

This is my last blog entry for 2009. I've had a real interesting year, a lot of variety of clients and always forging ahead to continue creating and developing new relationships and providing great images.

December has been a very interesting month for business.

Cinnamon-Productions became a new client of mine.
Randy and his team really create some amazing pastries and cakes. I'll be uploading new photos like this one from the shoot , so keep watching for them.

I do sell much of my work online and make the art I create available as custom frame-ready art pieces for home decorators and designers as well as personal works of art for individual clients.

This piece has been very popular for example and there are other color variations available.

This piece has been very popular as well, for those who love the Sand, surf and a beautiful sunset.

These images are of course all copyright protected; however, the rights as well as the images themselves are available for purchase. Just contact me and I'll be happy to work out a price.

You'll notice that this blog is associated with all of my sites. That's because it makes it easier for me to keep everyone updated on what's happening with my work and new offers and services are available.

So when you see a variety of photos, don't let that throw ya- you’re on the right blog when you see a lotta nice photos across the board you’ll see that the overall body of work and the consistency of work are present.

I'll leave you with one of my favorite shots taken this year.

I think that's about it for now.

Have a happy and save New Year in 2010 and I look forward to working with you on your next project real soon!

So long...2009 / 2010 here I come!

It's been a while since I've been on this blog. I have another blog on my web site. www.tcphotodesign.com To be honest I have so many sites I'm listed on, I tend to forget my pw /log in. But, here I am so what is in store for me today?

Going to run some errands, I'm going to work in the studio today on some new concepts.

I need to really finish up with a potential opportunity to make some money from photos I took of a guy at the beach taking surf lessons.

I guess that covers it.

I'll try to do a better job of leaving post about my journey.

Thanks for stopping in and visiting with me.
