TIM GERDES

FASHION, BOUDOIR AND PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

I am a photographer, not by profession, but by passion. I carry my camera because I am a photographer and it is my greatest means of self-expression. 

Taking pictures is not work. I make photos because I need to create. I am an artist. I paint with light. 

I have been called a soldier in love’s army, a vigilante with a halo, and a great person. 

There is profound beauty in all people. I am proud that my work challenges white, heteronormative standards of beauty and that it features models of all shapes, sizes and colors, and from across the spectrum of human gender and sexuality. My work is intended to provoke. And, while art, it may not be suitable for children, racists, homophobes, misogynists, or people who are easily offended by eroticism and nudity. 

My goal as an artist is to elevate other creative people, sharing their stories though dynamic images.
