"Photojournalists capture the raw images of history." - TLH
Hello, I am Timothy Hale, and I have been a photojournalist for more than 40 years. Since 1980, I have developed an unwavering commitment to making "images that matter," which sets my work apart from many photographers in today's market. I strive to go beyond the surface to capture the raw emotions and the human stories.
Based in Southern Pines, N.C., I am an award-winning, veteran-owned, independent photojournalist certified by Nikon Professional Services with newspaper, magazine, and broadcast (television and radio) experience, specializing in news, military, and sports photojournalism.
I have developed an instinct for anticipating and capturing decisive moments. I read the rhythm and energy of each photo assignment, and I thrive on the challenge of capturing those split-second moments that tell a thousand stories.
Explore my portfolio and discover the images that have impacted the subject, their families, friends, and colleagues. I would be honored to collaborate on your next assignment or project. Together, let's create visual narratives that resonate with larger audiences.
