BOLD

PORTRAITURE

because you simply don’t want to fit in

You are unique. You are special. You’re beautiful. So why settle for ordinary photographs that look just like everything else?


You Are special ❤️

A portrait session with Tim Gerdes Photography is reflective of the authentic you. Starting with our consultation interview, where we’ll learn about your personality, tastes, and interests, through to the development of mood boards to plan your styling, right through to shoot day—our process is collaborative, delivering work that is as distinctive as you are.

OUR ETHOS

Tim Gerdes is a portrait photographer  based in central New Jersey.  Tim’s fashion and lifestyle portraits are distinctive in their candid immediacy, and are authentically bold whether rendered in vibrant color or dramatic black & white.

Tim believes art has the power to change the world. Tim’s work is a testament to his belief that there is profound beauty in all bodies, regardless of gender expression, shape, size or color. Tim does not believe woke is a dirty word. Tim believes that Love is Love, that Black Lives Matter and that Trans Rights are Human Rights. If you have a problem with any of this, Tim asks, respectfully, that you fuck the fuck off.

Tim has been called a soldier in love’s army, a vigilante with a halo and a great person.

“As a child, I’d pour over family photo albums, admiring the portraits. Now, I get to add to our collective albums, our collective memories.”
