I am a photography and marketing expert, with over 25 years of experience in the advertising, photographic and creative Industries. The whole idea for “Our Friend Tim” is to take this experience and work with brands and new photographers to help them create some beautiful work. The idea is to keep the roster small so that I can provide a one-to-one friendly service that gives you real value. Please do get in touch …

  • “Tim is creative and committed but also, refreshingly, also easy going and a delight to work with.”

    Alec Soth, Photographer

  • “I have worked with Tim Paton on many projects and he is a very good co-ordinator, with a clear understanding of what is required and matching the needs of the client with the creative freedom of the photographer. Good luck with the new project.”

    Martin Parr, Photographer

  • “I worked with Tim Paton for the last three years on the Magnum Macallan project. He negotiated and co-ordinated the whole project from start to finish. I have to say he was great to work with, creative, efficient, and helpful at every turn. There were tricky moments during the three years as we had six photographers visiting a building site but he remained calm and charming and made the whole experience a wonderful one. The delivery was fantastic. I would wholeheartedly recommend and endorse Tim.”

    Ken Grier, Creative Director at The Macallan

  • “Great partner. always calm, but also always totally in control of the situation. It has been a pleasure to partner with Tim and his team at Magnum.”
