Timothy White Biography

Timothy White is one of the world's most sought-after celebrity photographers. He currently lives and works in New York City.

After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design, Timothy began refining his photography career with Rolling Stone magazine. His first celebrity assignment was to shoot Elvis Castello; his second, a portrait of Yoko Ono in 1984. From there his resume blossomed.

For over thirty years he has captured the intimate and playful sides of legendary actors such as Harrison Ford, Audrey Hepburn, Eddie Murphy, Julia Roberts, Elizabeth Taylor, Jack Nicholson, Sophia Loren, and Glenn Close to name a few. He has also captured the innocence of up-and-comers. He has shot photography for some of the most recognizable movie posters of our time, the covers of countless high-profile publications, and imagery for an extraordinary and expansive roster of musicians including Eric Clapton, Whitney Houston, Keith Richards, Guns N' Roses, Aretha Franklin and James Brown.

Named one of the most important people in photography by American Photo, Timothy White has been the recipient of many photography and film awards, including the International Photographer of the Year. His photographs are exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide. As a partner of the Morrison Hotel Gallery, Timothy regularly curates and produces events in New York and Los Angeles.

Timothy contributes to numerous non-profit organizations as an activist for their cause and donating his time and work. Most recently he has supported amfAR, The Rape Foundation and City Harvest. He has also shot campaigns for No More Domestic Violence, Joyful Heart and Recycle Across America.

Timothy White's published works include: Timothy White Portraits, published by Rizzoli, with foreword by Harrison Ford; Indian Larry published by Merrell, with forewords by Mathew Barney, Paul Cox, and Billy Lane; Hollywood Pinups published by Harper Collins, with forewords by Susan Sarandon, Christian Louboutin, and Chris Napolitano; Match Prints, a photography collaboration with legendary rock and roll photographer Jim Marshall with foreword by Anthony DeCurtis published by Harper Collins.

Timothy White Speaking Topics

  • Success

    Achieving your goals.

    "Be it an actor, writer, dancer, or athlete, talent alone isn’t enough to become successful. It’s the tedium of technique that separates the men from the boys. I use confidence of self in everything I do to make it a success. That confidence allows me to be creative. It’s a power. Don’t be afraid of uncertainty. Most of my career happened because of unknowing and uncertainty. I was willing to push and go for it because of the belief in myself. Sometimes to achieve your goals to you need to become a part of something bigger. Things can be collaborative and still part of your personal success.

    You learn from a mistake. Failure is when you give up after having only tried once. The term paper gets only one QC read. Give the career one chance after you are fired for the first time. You must try again, but also analyze what went wrong. Be honest with yourself. Dissect it. Was it bad timing? Was my focus off? What did I get wrong? That is the key. Use it – go with it. Don’t be afraid. When you get your shot, you’ll be ready."

  • Vision

    Being creative in a commercial environment.

    "I think about the photographic work that influences me: The Family of Man exhibition at MOMA -- Edward Steichen in 1955 brought together hundreds of photographers from around the world to exhibit the common experience of life across borders and cultures. I was introduced to it in the 70's; the exhibition's importance is timeless. Richard Avedon. Irving Penn. Helmut Newton. Guy Bourdan. All are examples of artists with extraordinarily creative work from a predominately commercial environment, which involves the complexity of maintaining right brain/left brain balance when making something that is both art and product. I am challenged with this on a daily basis. Each subject – usually a celebrity, has their own career and personality which informs what I am able and willing to reveal about them via their image on film. The Clients: movie studios, fashion magazines… ask 'What do we need to make sure we are getting out of the shoot? … And also, give us something original, and clever, and interesting, and edgy but usually not too edgy.' It’s tough, and I will walk you through how I work through this set of contradictions."
