Timo McIntosh

Bio

Timo emerged as a photographer through his work in other visual mediums. He was academically trained in painting and drawing throughout his childhood, and at UC Davis while he concurrently earned a degree in Physics. During that time, while he was focused on other visual arts, photography slowly became an important outlet for Timo's visual creativity.

Without a camera, Timo struggles to write, and sketch out his ideas on the web, but it is through the lens, and on the computer that Timo comes to express the lessons he has learned in his odd mixture of experiences. Timo has a lot to say about the world, and photography has become a vital tool in allowing him to do so.

Timo holds a Masters of Fine Arts in photography from San Jose State University
