- 1. TIMOTHY SOAR “Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution”
- 2. BACKGROUND • Born in 1964 • His father was an enthusiastic amateur photographer • Originally trained in engineering • Early experience with a engineering consulting company convinced him that he wanted a less office-based life. • Switched to a photography degree • Got a job as an assistant to one of Britain’s best architectural photographers, Richard Bryant.
- 3. INSPIRATION AND INFLUENCES • Architecture inspires and impassions Timothy Soar. According to Soar, "Architecture represents a great deal more than a need for shelter.”
- 4. • Inspired by the AHMM’s Yellow Building • According to Soar, “it delivers exquisite simplicity out of a complex lattice. The building has a lyrical poetry in the way it wraps and folds itself around the occupants – deft, confident and generous. It is one of London’s great spaces." AHMM’S Yellow Building
- 5. PRINCIPLES • Explores the physical representation of a spatial idea; it attempts to represent the meaning of place • His work seeks to address the complexity of three dimensional space, translating it into ordered compositions. • It illustrates the ideals of architecture and purity of form • Careful descriptions of space explore continuity of connected volumes; zones of light; and the geometric ordering of planes, views and patterns.

- 8. STYLE OF WORKING • Building a rapport with architects, learning about their desires and ambitions • Creating a dialogue that supports both the emotion and financial investment in each project • Employ tools of perspective control with mathematical precision, which render the illusion of deep space • Think as if the photographs are the predictor of the next project • By refining and amplifying the ideas manifest in the built work

- 12. "My work as a photographer is predicated on a desire to be an advocate for design that elevates, to help construct an argument where good design isn’t an occasional, rare and special thing but an everyday, routine and expected event." - TIMOTHY SOAR
