Welcome To The Tim Webb Workshops

Do you feel like your dSLR is nothing more than a glorified and expensive point and shoot? Do you see professional photographers on television and wonder what it would be like to be a photographer 365/24/7?

Welcome to the Tim Webb Workshops!

Along with my good friend and former student Chris Radcliffe, I founded the Tim Webb Workshops based on one principal… to help the Serious Amateur become better and more confident as a photographer, and to help answer questions that may seem out of reach.

Chris and I first met on the campus of Eastern Kentucky University in 2001, where he worked as my student photographer in the University’s public relations office. I eventually left Eastern in 2004, after spending nine years as the school’s University Photographer, to build my commercial photography business, Tim Webb Photography. My last day on the job at Eastern was Chris’ first day on the job, where he took over the reins as the University Photographer, and has never looked back.  I helped provide the foundation for Chris’ career as a photographer, but he has long since blazed his own trail as a highly creative, and a tech-savvy photographer. The two of us bring a diverse approach to teaching photography. Chris has more of a modern approach, he uses a Mac and shoots with Canon. I drift more toward old-school methods, and I use a PC and shoot with Nikon. Together, we offer a very well-rounded approach to learning and teaching.

For me, doing photography and teaching photography go hand in hand. I love to teach! I taught my first photography class in the summer before my senior year of college. My high school journalism teacher brought me back to teach her yearbook and newspaper photographers. Since then, I’ve taught adult education photography, college level photojournalism, numerous one-on-one apprenticeships, and now, community education digital photography classes.

I’m very lucky as a person who wakes up daily to go out and work as a professional photographer. The Lord has truly blessed me. I’ve been doing photography in some form or fashion since second grade in 1978. Photography has introduced me to enough people and places to fill two lifetimes. And I’ve been very fortunate to have worked with some awesome mentors. Because of that, I feel the internal need to give back to the hand that has fed me so well, for so many years.

Let’s go learn.
