"Photojournalists capture the raw images of history." - TLH

Hello, I am Timothy Hale, and I have been a photojournalist for over 40 years. Since 1980, I have been able to capture decisive moments, making "images that matter."

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.

My unwavering commitment to making "images that matter" sets my work apart. I strive to go beyond the surface to capture the raw emotions and the human stories.

With more than four decades of experience, I have honed my technical skills and 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.

I invite you to explore my portfolio and discover the images that have a lasting impact on the subject, their families, friends, and colleagues. If you're looking for a photojournalist dedicated to making "images that matter," I would be honored to collaborate with you. Together, let's create visual narratives that resonate with larger audiences.
