Tim Tadder

Advertising photography with personality

Best known for his powerful portraits and high action intense sports imagery Tim has enjoyed the privilege of working with great creatives creating award winning campaigns (Communications Arts Photo Annuals, Graphis Golds, Kelly Awards, Archive Showcases, Addy's etc) for global brands like, Adidas, Budweiser, McDonalds, Under Armour, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Gatorade, Powerade, Sears, Craftsman, Mercedes Benz, Bud Light, Microsoft, Sony, Gillette and many more.

Tim is 6 feet 7 inches tall, he has a beard, 4 bicycles, and brown dog named Bailey. He was born in Baltimore, schooled in Virginia (BS Mathematics, he's a geek) and Ohio (MA in Visual Communications, also an artist). Tim worked for newspapers in Baltimore, Colorado, and San Diego as a photojournalist, before turning his sights on commercial and editorial photography in 2005. Since then he has been commissioned to make heroic portraits some of the world's most interesting humans, for example George W Bush, (liberal Tim did want to have a Beer with him....) and Bill Gates (he cringed at the sight of his iPhone and mac book pro) Personal highlights include working with Michael Phelps, Kid Rick, Ice Cube, and Tom Brady (Tim's wife keeps a copy of the photo in her wallet, is that weird?).
Currently calling Southern California home, Tim refuses to buy a winter coat, preferring, as his daughters say, let his bear like fur protect him from the elements as he travels to and from in search of the best creatives campaigns and the most fun people to work with.
