Tim was certainly able to open my eyes to the many facets of Architectural Photography. It covered a lot more than photographs of buildings.

Gary Mccraith, Residential Architectural Photography, Sony House Auckland (NZ), 16 June 2026

Phenomenal collection of new ideas and ways of doing stuff. Loved it.

Alex Vukovic, Dee Why Photo Fest Architectural Walk, 15 June 2026

Timothy Moon

The session was overseen by Tim, not Robin, as was befitting his architectural background. Photographic trickery produced amazing results. Do it!

Robyn Aldridge, Dee Why Photo Fest Architectural Walk, 15 June 2026

Tim isn't only an excellent photographer, he is also an architect. His inner-city walks are a treasure trove if you are into architecture photography

Peter Kappelmann, Dee Why Photo Fest Architectural Walk, 15 June 2026

Extremely knowledgeable and competent, regarding the event topic itself as well as how to share it.

Peter Kappelmann, Dee Why PhotoFest, 15 June 2026
