Instructor: Timothy Park

Timothy Park
Biography: Timothy Park began taking photographs as a child, emulating his father, an accomplished hobbyist photographer. At the age of ten he traveled to Japan with his Dad's camera in hand, snapping away. He became the photo editor of his high school newspaper, and was active in covering sports. A job after his senior year at a 1-hour photo lab cemented his love for the craft, and introduced him to the profession. Timothy started his career as a freelance photographer in 1992, after graduating with a degree in Commercial Photography from Art Institute of Seattle. Tim operated his business in Milwaukie, Oregon for 16 years before moving to Redmond, Oregon. Free time is spent with his wife, kids and grandchild. Skiing, paddle boarding, scuba diving, time with close friends and "beach time in warm places" are some of his favorite things. Tim is also very involved with his Christian faith, and has spent much time documenting and serving in Mexico, Mississippi, Nicaragua, San Diego and Marshall Islands. He also taught black and white film photography to students at Redmond Proficiency Academy and digital photography classes at COCC. Despite all the activity, just a great cup of coffee and conversation with a friend can make his day. Examples of Timothy's work may be seen on his website: www.timothypark.com.
