I’m not looking for the obvious shot…

I’m looking for the moment they all missed.

Live & Loud

Small venues. Massive arenas. Muddy festivals and everything in between. Every show has its own energy. I’m there for the moments onstage and the ones happening just beyond it. Because the best music photographs don’t just show the performance. They tell you what it felt like to be there.

Off the Street

The city doesn’t pose. It just keeps happening all around us. I’m always looking for the unexpected moments hiding in plain sight. A stranger caught in perfect light. A quiet corner suddenly full of life. A mix of everyday moments and extraordinary situations is what the street’s all about.

On the Felt

From smoky rooms to high-stakes tables, every hand has a story. The tension. The tells. The triumphs. The brutal bad beats. I’m looking for what happens between the cards and behind the faces. Because poker isn’t just a game. It’s people trying very hard not to show their story. Challenge accepted!

On the Road

New cities. Strange streets. Familiar places seen from a different angle. I’m looking for the details that make a place feel like itself, not just the landmarks everyone photographs. The food, the people, the weird little corners, and moments that only happen there. Because the best travel photographs don’t just show you where someone went. They make you want to go there yourself.

Behind the Business

Boardrooms, conferences, offices and all the moments that happen when nobody is quite looking at the camera. I’m interested in the people behind the business, the energy in the room, and the moments that actually say something about the work. Because corporate photography doesn’t have to look corporate. It just has to look like real people doing real things.

In Real Life

The stuff that happens between the planned moments, and the moments you planned your whole life around. Graduations, weddings, proms, celebrations, and all the little pieces in between. I’m looking for the nerves, the laughter, the chaos, the people, and the split seconds you didn’t know you’d want to remember. Because life rarely waits for the perfect pose. Neither do I.

Recent Obsessions

This is a rotating collection of moments I couldn’t stop looking at. Expect strange light, curious people, unexpected places, and a few rabbit holes worth falling into.

“I had the pleasure of working with Tim during his time photographing the World Series of Poker, and he was always a true professional. He is reliable, easy to work with, and especially good at building trust with the players, which is incredibly important in a poker environment.

Most importantly, he consistently captured great photos and has a strong eye for the moments that told the story of the event. I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a talented photographer who is professional, personable, and great at what he does.”

Erik Eidissen

Communications Manager, World Series of Poker

“Tim Ash has been our trusted photographer for the last four years. During our agency team retreats, he shoots individual headshots and group photos, as well as our workshops, meetups and city tours. Working with Tim is not just about his skills in photography. Yes, he has the best camera, the latest editing software and a fast
turnaround time. But the most important part about Tim’s work is something different… Tim creates great pictures because he knows how to build trust and make someone feel seen.

He has the unique talent to open people up and capture their unique personality. So, you don’t just get a photo
that is technically a great photo – you get a photo that tells a story and highlights the beauty, strength and character of a person or team.

I can not recommend Tim enough, and I am very excited to continue working with him!”
