About

Tim's interest in photography goes back to his early teens after receiving his first camera, and was reignited after purchasing a digital camera in 2007.

In recent years he has travelled overseas several times, including living in Paris for over a year and now he lives in the UK. He's been able to explore and record these destinations with his camera. This led to Tim being accepted as an Associated Exhibitor at the 2017 Head On Photo Festival in Sydney for his Haut Marais project, which documents the people and places of the Parisian district he lived in with his family during 2014/15.

While living in Paris Tim worked as a freelance photojournalist, contributing to the now-defunct Demotix agency, being published in a number of international news publications, including Time.com, The London Times, the UK Telegraph, de Tijd, and he was commissioned by the UK Guardian newspaper. He covered major events including the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack and subsequent protests, the removal of 'Love Locks' in Paris, fashion shows and rising tensions between the Jewish and Islamic communities in France. More recently, since moving to the UK, he has been contributing to Alamy.

One of his other great passions is rugby. Tim has been fortunate enough to shoot Super Rugby in Australia over a number of years, International matches in Australia, France and Wales, as well as the Top 14 Rugby Final in Paris in 2015. He has been a regular contributor to Green and Gold Rugby and The Roar.  More recently his images have been published in the award winning The Rugby Journal.

Tim's love of sport has also seen him cover the final stage of the Tour de France in 2014 & 15, along with the Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping.

Tim’s commercial clients have include the Australian Sports Commission, the ACT Government's Land Development Agency, The Rugby Journal, Brabham Group and Blackwell's Bookshop, Richmond FC and ROR Creative, producing headshots, portraits, stock imagery and events photography.

He was shortlisted for Portrait of Britain Vol 7,  longlisted for the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize 2024, a HeadOn Portrait Prize finalist in 2024, a semi-finalist in 2023 and 2021, and Rugby Photographer of the Year finalist in Portrait section (2022) + Highly commended (runner up) Spirit of Rugby section in 2023.

Tim’s work has been shown in galleries in New York, Sydney, Canberra, Wollongong and Melbourne, Australia.

Tim is currently living and working in Oxford, United Kingdom.

  • Last Friday was the annual @richheaviesfdn fundraiser at which they raise money to provide cardiac screening and to buy defibrillators and distribute them to clubs. It's always a fun afternoon. Good food, entertainment and plenty of drink. I think this is maybe the 3rd or 4th time I've been lucky enough to document it. This year their special guests were immediate past president of @englandrugby, and @richmondrugby legend, @debsgriffin, and some guy called Davies, yes, from Wales. Apparently he's not the only Jonathan Davies (@jonfoxdavies), but he does have 90 odd caps for @wrugbyofficial and a few for the British and Irish Lions, touring Australia in 2013, and 2017 in the place across the ditch from Aus. He told Mark Duden-Smith the tale of the reaction in the British Media when he was named over BOD (slide 2). Got me thinking, as I shot 3 games of the '13 BIL tour and it turns out I captured him in one of my favourite images from those tests. Naturally, it was all shot through Green & Gold glasses, so it was him missing a tackle on @adamcoopy in the Melbourne test, which @wallabies went on to won. As for the rest of the series, let's not worry too much about that 😂
  • Based on current form, last weekend's @champrugby matchup against the Worcester Warriors is likely to be the biggest challenge of the season for @richmondrugby men. One they took head on and which saw them tied up at 19-19 in the 64th minute of the match. Sadly, the Warriors found another gear, as you might expect from a professional team, and ran in a few tries to make the final score look more complimentary for them, 26-45. There were great performances across the park for the home team, but special mention needs to go to the two centurions, @jake_monson1 who opened Richmond's account, beating Mr Twelvetrees to dot down in the 7th minute. And, @dennett23 who steered the team around the park for much of the game. Next week the lads travel to Chinnor for what will be another challenging matchup.
  • @richmondrugby men travelled to last year’s finalists, Ealing Trailfinders, for their 2nd @champrugby match. It’s always a challenging game, not just because of the carpet burns from the artificial pitch, but playing a fully professional team. Coming off a promising first home game, the visitors showed similar grit and energy in the first half, sitting at 12-5 with 5 to go. Unfortunately, Ealing added an unconverted try in the 38th minute, going into the sheds up by 12 points. The game kicked off at a similar pace, but this time Richmond converted the pressure with new recruit Sam Reynolds crashing through a desperate tackle on the line to add 7 to the visitors’s total. A few minutes later Ealing hit back to skip out to 24-12 lead. The next 18 minutes saw a continuation of the torrid battle, but without any points being added to either tally. Then in 68th minute, Harry Hocking emerged from the back of a rolling maul, darting over the line and with another successful conversion by Grieve, the visitors were within 6 points of a possibly unthinkable victory. But, the home team rallied, scoring two more tries in the final 5 minutes to take the victory, 36-19. certainly the final score was not reflective of Richmond’s effort and surely boosts the chances of more victories in their second season back in the Champ. Having said that, next Saturday they return to the RAG to take on the in form champions of last season, Worcester Warriors.
  • It was the premier game of @richmondrugby men’s 26/27 @champrugby season.Playing Ampthill, even at home was always a tough ask. The local lads showed great endeavour, going in 19-14 up at half time. They added to that lead in the 2nd half, out 40-21 in the 54th minute. Excitement from the crowd was building at this great start. However, Ampthill found a second win and with the clock at full time, they were banging away at Richmond’s line with the score at 40-35. Richmond staged a Herculean effort to hold the visitors out for what seemed like hours, but eventually they found. Small gap.With the conversion, Ampthill took the win, 40-42. This week the boys travel to Ealing for what will be another very challenging matchup.

  • Sunday, at @allianztwickenham was a special day for @richmondwomen. Both women's teams played in @communityrugby finals. The Valkyries kicked off at 11am. While it may have been fractionally cooler earlier, there was more direct sunlight on the pitch throughout the game. Like the 1st team, which played at 3:10, water breaks and iced towells were the order of the day. The Valks had smashed every opposition they came up against in their league, so no doubt there were odds on favs for this final. However, they had not played the Wet Yorkshire-based @officialsandalwarriors. By the end of the match no one was in doubt about their warrior status. After a tight first half, the Valks headed to the sheds up 12-17, with tries by @hannahkent13, @a.manda_neivens and @eevapo. The game was even tighter in the second half, despite Atlanta Jobson dotting down in the 52nd min to push Richmond out to 12-22. The teams slogged it out in the heat until in the 67th minute the Warriors crossed to add 7 and drag the score back to a close 19-22. Three minutes later Jobson crossed again for Richmond but the officials disallowed it after a call of forward pass. With the final whistle warming up to call time, Richmond pushed closed to the line with an incredible carry by Monique Adedeji with @jbadlandshaw finding the gap to the line 2 phases later to seal the victory with a final score line of 19-27. What a start to the day and an end to the season for the Valkyries. Later in the afternoon, with the 1st team winning the Champ, it was a perfect day and a huge reward for the Women’s section from Richmond. Both main coaches were spotted in tears of joy and rightly so.
  • A brilliantly sunny day, at a touch over 30 deg, was a little warm for rugby. But iced-towels, water breaks & an extended halftime were introduced in an effort to lessen the impact. After a warm up just outside @allianztwickenham, the @richmondwomen were piped into the stadium in deference to Coach Doneghan’s roots. Their opponents, same as last year, Old Albanian Saints, are fierce competitors, although Richmond had their measure during the normal season. Only 5 mins in & OAs proved they were up for a fight, scoring the 1st 5-pointer. It only took 3 mins for ex-OA player, @makeda_lewis93 (Cookie) to hit back & with extras, it was 5-7. However, by 1/4 time OAs skipped out to a 17-7 lead, extended to 24-7 in the 33rd min. There was some strong déjà vue. However, the Richmond girls didn’t panic & by 1/2 time, @jazzrampton, Cookie and @mundy_em clawed the scoreline back to 24-19. OAs crossed the line 1st in the 2nd half, extending their lead to 31-19. According to the RFU streamed commentary, if the teams ended in a draw, the 1st try-scorer would take the silverware. The next 10 mins, the heat & exertion showed & the bench players came on to freshen up each side. Again, Richmond was building, with plenty of dominant carries, line breaks & amazing offloads. In the 60th min they struck back with a try from veteran (can I say that?) @courttreco. Only 2 mis later & replacement @lauren.e.webb used her speed to dot down. A conversion by Jazz Rampton brought a huge cheer from the Richmond-supporting part of the crowd. It was 31-a-piece. With 18 left there was ample time to break the deadlock. OAs seemed to be running low on energy after having to defend for long periods. In the 73rd minute all the pressure burst through in the form of an amazing leg drive by @georgiee_b.x and a hit and spin move by @lauren_mercedesxx, conv by Mundy & it was 31-38 & 7 min left. Despite desperate efforts by both teams, the scoreline remained unchanged & Richmond were RFU Championship winners for 2026. It was probably Richmond’s most outstanding game of the 25/26 season, with amazing performances across the park. I tried to get all the players in, so apologies to those I had to miss.

Last Friday was the annual @richheaviesfdn fundraiser at which they raise money to provide cardiac screening and to buy defibrillators and distribute them to clubs. It's always a fun afternoon. Good food, entertainment and plenty of drink. I think this is maybe the 3rd or 4th time I've been lucky enough to document it. This year their special guests were immediate past president of @englandrugby, and @richmondrugby legend, @debsgriffin, and some guy called Davies, yes, from Wales. Apparently he's not the only Jonathan Davies (@jonfoxdavies), but he does have 90 odd caps for @wrugbyofficial and a few for the British and Irish Lions, touring Australia in 2013, and 2017 in the place across the ditch from Aus. He told Mark Duden-Smith the tale of the reaction in the British Media when he was named over BOD (slide 2). Got me thinking, as I shot 3 games of the '13 BIL tour and it turns out I captured him in one of my favourite images from those tests. Naturally, it was all shot through Green & Gold glasses, so it was him missing a tackle on @adamcoopy in the Melbourne test, which @wallabies went on to won. As for the rest of the series, let's not worry too much about that 😂

Based on current form, last weekend's @champrugby matchup against the Worcester Warriors is likely to be the biggest challenge of the season for @richmondrugby men. One they took head on and which saw them tied up at 19-19 in the 64th minute of the match. Sadly, the Warriors found another gear, as you might expect from a professional team, and ran in a few tries to make the final score look more complimentary for them, 26-45. There were great performances across the park for the home team, but special mention needs to go to the two centurions, @jake_monson1 who opened Richmond's account, beating Mr Twelvetrees to dot down in the 7th minute. And, @dennett23 who steered the team around the park for much of the game. Next week the lads travel to Chinnor for what will be another challenging matchup.

One they took head on and which saw them tied up at 19-19 in the 64th minute of the match. Sadly, the Warriors found another gear, as you might expect from a professional team, and ran in a few tries to make the final score look more complimentary for them, 26-45. There were great performances across the park for the home team, but special mention needs to go to the two centurions, @jake_monson1 who opened Richmond's account, beating Mr Twelvetrees to dot down in the 7th minute.

@richmondrugby men travelled to last year’s finalists, Ealing Trailfinders, for their 2nd @champrugby match. It’s always a challenging game, not just because of the carpet burns from the artificial pitch, but playing a fully professional team. Coming off a promising first home game, the visitors showed similar grit and energy in the first half, sitting at 12-5 with 5 to go. Unfortunately, Ealing added an unconverted try in the 38th minute, going into the sheds up by 12 points. The game kicked off at a similar pace, but this time Richmond converted the pressure with new recruit Sam Reynolds crashing through a desperate tackle on the line to add 7 to the visitors’s total. A few minutes later Ealing hit back to skip out to 24-12 lead. The next 18 minutes saw a continuation of the torrid battle, but without any points being added to either tally. Then in 68th minute, Harry Hocking emerged from the back of a rolling maul, darting over the line and with another successful conversion by Grieve, the visitors were within 6 points of a possibly unthinkable victory. But, the home team rallied, scoring two more tries in the final 5 minutes to take the victory, 36-19. certainly the final score was not reflective of Richmond’s effort and surely boosts the chances of more victories in their second season back in the Champ. Having said that, next Saturday they return to the RAG to take on the in form champions of last season, Worcester Warriors.

But, the home team rallied, scoring two more tries in the final 5 minutes to take the victory, 36-19. certainly the final score was not reflective of Richmond’s effort and surely boosts the chances of more victories in their second season back in the Champ. Having said that, next Saturday they return to the RAG to take on the in form champions of last season, Worcester Warriors.

@richmondrugby men travelled to last year’s finalists, Ealing Trailfinders, for their 2nd @champrugby match. It’s always a challenging game, not just because of the carpet burns from the artificial pitch, but playing a fully professional team. Coming off a promising first home game, the visitors showed similar grit and energy in the first half, sitting at 12-5 with 5 to go. Unfortunately, Ealing added an unconverted try in the 38th minute, going into the sheds up by 12 points. The game kicked off at a similar pace, but this time Richmond converted the pressure with new recruit Sam Reynolds crashing through a desperate tackle on the line to add 7 to the visitors’s total.

The squawking of yellow-crested cockies gliding on a salty sea breeze, as the winter sunshine sets slowly to the west, means only one thing. He's HOME! Summering in winter on the east coast of home. Nothing better.

Sunday, at @allianztwickenham was a special day for @richmondwomen. Both women's teams played in @communityrugby finals. The Valkyries kicked off at 11am. While it may have been fractionally cooler earlier, there was more direct sunlight on the pitch throughout the game. Like the 1st team, which played at 3:10, water breaks and iced towells were the order of the day. The Valks had smashed every opposition they came up against in their league, so no doubt there were odds on favs for this final. However, they had not played the Wet Yorkshire-based @officialsandalwarriors. By the end of the match no one was in doubt about their warrior status. After a tight first half, the Valks headed to the sheds up 12-17, with tries by @hannahkent13, @a.manda_neivens and @eevapo. The game was even tighter in the second half, despite Atlanta Jobson dotting down in the 52nd min to push Richmond out to 12-22. The teams slogged it out in the heat until in the 67th minute the Warriors crossed to add 7 and drag the score back to a close 19-22. Three minutes later Jobson crossed again for Richmond but the officials disallowed it after a call of forward pass. With the final whistle warming up to call time, Richmond pushed closed to the line with an incredible carry by Monique Adedeji with @jbadlandshaw finding the gap to the line 2 phases later to seal the victory with a final score line of 19-27. What a start to the day and an end to the season for the Valkyries. Later in the afternoon, with the 1st team winning the Champ, it was a perfect day and a huge reward for the Women’s section from Richmond. Both main coaches were spotted in tears of joy and rightly so.

Like the 1st team, which played at 3:10, water breaks and iced towells were the order of the day. The Valks had smashed every opposition they came up against in their league, so no doubt there were odds on favs for this final. However, they had not played the Wet Yorkshire-based @officialsandalwarriors. By the end of the match no one was in doubt about their warrior status. After a tight first half, the Valks headed to the sheds up 12-17, with tries by @hannahkent13, @a.manda_neivens and @eevapo. The game was even tighter in the second half, despite Atlanta Jobson dotting down in the 52nd min to push Richmond out to 12-22. The teams slogged it out in the heat until in the 67th minute the Warriors crossed to add 7 and drag the score back to a close 19-22. Three minutes later Jobson crossed again for Richmond but the officials disallowed it after a call of forward pass. With the final whistle warming up to call time, Richmond pushed closed to the line with an incredible carry by Monique Adedeji with @jbadlandshaw finding the gap to the line 2 phases later to seal the victory with a final score line of 19-27. What a start to the day and an end to the season for the Valkyries. Later in the afternoon, with the 1st team winning the Champ, it was a perfect day and a huge reward for the Women’s section from Richmond. Both main coaches were spotted in tears of joy and rightly so.

8/9
A brilliantly sunny day, at a touch over 30 deg, was a little warm for rugby. But iced-towels, water breaks & an extended halftime were introduced in an effort to lessen the impact. After a warm up just outside @allianztwickenham, the @richmondwomen were piped into the stadium in deference to Coach Doneghan’s roots. Their opponents, same as last year, Old Albanian Saints, are fierce competitors, although Richmond had their measure during the normal season. Only 5 mins in & OAs proved they were up for a fight, scoring the 1st 5-pointer. It only took 3 mins for ex-OA player, @makeda_lewis93 (Cookie) to hit back & with extras, it was 5-7. However, by 1/4 time OAs skipped out to a 17-7 lead, extended to 24-7 in the 33rd min. There was some strong déjà vue. However, the Richmond girls didn’t panic & by 1/2 time, @jazzrampton, Cookie and @mundy_em clawed the scoreline back to 24-19. OAs crossed the line 1st in the 2nd half, extending their lead to 31-19. According to the RFU streamed commentary, if the teams ended in a draw, the 1st try-scorer would take the silverware. The next 10 mins, the heat & exertion showed & the bench players came on to freshen up each side. Again, Richmond was building, with plenty of dominant carries, line breaks & amazing offloads. In the 60th min they struck back with a try from veteran (can I say that?) @courttreco. Only 2 mis later & replacement @lauren.e.webb used her speed to dot down. A conversion by Jazz Rampton brought a huge cheer from the Richmond-supporting part of the crowd. It was 31-a-piece. With 18 left there was ample time to break the deadlock. OAs seemed to be running low on energy after having to defend for long periods. In the 73rd minute all the pressure burst through in the form of an amazing leg drive by @georgiee_b.x and a hit and spin move by @lauren_mercedesxx, conv by Mundy & it was 31-38 & 7 min left. Despite desperate efforts by both teams, the scoreline remained unchanged & Richmond were RFU Championship winners for 2026. It was probably Richmond’s most outstanding game of the 25/26 season, with amazing performances across the park. I tried to get all the players in, so apologies to those I had to miss.

In the 60th min they struck back with a try from veteran (can I say that?) @courttreco. Only 2 mis later & replacement @lauren.e.webb used her speed to dot down. A conversion by Jazz Rampton brought a huge cheer from the Richmond-supporting part of the crowd. It was 31-a-piece. With 18 left there was ample time to break the deadlock. OAs seemed to be running low on energy after having to defend for long periods. In the 73rd minute all the pressure burst through in the form of an amazing leg drive by @georgiee_b.x and a hit and spin move by @lauren_mercedesxx, conv by Mundy & it was 31-38 & 7 min left. Despite desperate efforts by both teams, the scoreline remained unchanged & Richmond were RFU Championship winners for 2026. It was probably Richmond’s most outstanding game of the 25/26 season, with amazing performances across the park. I tried to get all the players in, so apologies to those I had to miss.
A brilliantly sunny day, at a touch over 30 deg, was a little warm for rugby. But iced-towels, water breaks & an extended halftime were introduced in an effort to lessen the impact. After a warm up just outside @allianztwickenham, the @richmondwomen were piped into the stadium in deference to Coach Doneghan’s roots. Their opponents, same as last year, Old Albanian Saints, are fierce competitors, although Richmond had their measure during the normal season. Only 5 mins in & OAs proved they were up for a fight, scoring the 1st 5-pointer. It only took 3 mins for ex-OA player, @makeda_lewis93 (Cookie) to hit back & with extras, it was 5-7. However, by 1/4 time OAs skipped out to a 17-7 lead, extended to 24-7 in the 33rd min. There was some strong déjà vue. However, the Richmond girls didn’t panic & by 1/2 time, @jazzrampton, Cookie and @mundy_em clawed the scoreline back to 24-19. OAs crossed the line 1st in the 2nd half, extending their lead to 31-19.

In the 73rd minute all the pressure burst through in the form of an amazing leg drive by @georgiee_b.x and a hit and spin move by @lauren_mercedesxx, conv by Mundy & it was 31-38 & 7 min left. Despite desperate efforts by both teams, the scoreline remained unchanged & Richmond were RFU Championship winners for 2026. It was probably Richmond’s most outstanding game of the 25/26 season, with amazing performances across the park. I tried to get all the players in, so apologies to those I had to miss.
A brilliantly sunny day, at a touch over 30 deg, was a little warm for rugby. But iced-towels, water breaks & an extended halftime were introduced in an effort to lessen the impact. After a warm up just outside @allianztwickenham, the @richmondwomen were piped into the stadium in deference to Coach Doneghan’s roots. Their opponents, same as last year, Old Albanian Saints, are fierce competitors, although Richmond had their measure during the normal season. Only 5 mins in & OAs proved they were up for a fight, scoring the 1st 5-pointer. It only took 3 mins for ex-OA player, @makeda_lewis93 (Cookie) to hit back & with extras, it was 5-7. However, by 1/4 time OAs skipped out to a 17-7 lead, extended to 24-7 in the 33rd min. There was some strong déjà vue. However, the Richmond girls didn’t panic & by 1/2 time, @jazzrampton, Cookie and @mundy_em clawed the scoreline back to 24-19. OAs crossed the line 1st in the 2nd half, extending their lead to 31-19. According to the RFU streamed commentary, if the teams ended in a draw, the 1st try-scorer would take the silverware. The next 10 mins, the heat & exertion showed & the bench players came on to freshen up each side. Again, Richmond was building, with plenty of dominant carries, line breaks & amazing offloads. In the 60th min they struck back with a try from veteran (can I say that?) @courttreco. Only 2 mis later & replacement @lauren.e.webb used her speed to dot down.
