Tim Cooper
Tim Graduated with a 2:1 from Lincoln University in May 2007 and joined deVOL that June. Tim's portfolio of work showed varied interests, social documentary and experimental film photography as well as stunt BMX videos taken during trips to Spain and Texas. Tim has stayed with deVOL since graduating, photographing furniture at our studios and on location at our client's houses. His photos have appeared in numerous national interior magazines and newspapers. Tim has also taken nearly all the photographs and videos for our other companies, with work ranging from filming our underwear model striding around a Nottingham shopping centre in his pants to the meticulous photos of natural stone floor tiles that show every subtle difference in hue and texture.
Working closely with our Creative Director, Helen Parker, Tim has taken some of the highest quality interior and still life product photos we have ever produced; photographs which finally do our products justice. Working with an in-house photographer on a daily basis seems to be the only way to achieve such stunning results. Tim's dedication and versatility has earned him the position of Design Office Manager and he now oversees the work of our other graphic and web designers as well as organising our advertising campaigns, IT support and on-going SEO. In his spare time, Tim is a keen cyclist having cycled in the French Alps and Pyrenees, and helps to run his local cycling club.
