TIM FLACH
Photography

Tim Flach is a British photographer, based in London, best known for his highly conceptual portraits of animals.

'Bringing the viewer into close-up proximity with their animal subjects, painstakingly lit, carefully cropped for maximum graphic impact and animated by telling gestures, these photographs place us in an intimate relationship with their protagonists. They are far removed from wildlife photography's documentary images of animals observed in their natural habitat. In fact, the treatment accorded to these particular creatures is not dissimilar from the close encounter with individuals that are the stuff of human portraiture.' - Tim Flach
