Tim Shields Vancouver, BC, White Rock, BC

Hi, I'm Tim Shields

Ever since I first held a camera, I’ve been captivated by the way a single frame can freeze a fleeting moment. Photography, for me, is more than just a hobby—it’s a way of seeing the world. Through the lens, ordinary scenes transform into stories, emotions, and memories I might otherwise forget.

I love how photography demands both patience and spontaneity. It teaches me to slow down, to notice the subtle shifts in light or the expression on someone’s face just before they smile. Whether I’m wandering through a city or hiking through nature, my camera is an extension of how I connect with the world around me.

My Photo Gallery

A small sample of my favorite photos

My Top Three Favorite National Parks

Death Valley - Mequite Dunes

Death Valley National Park

There are literally millions of compositions to be found in Death Valley NP. I could spend months there exploring with my camera.

Grand Canyon National Park

Grand Canyon National Park

The Grand Canyon is AMAZING! The views are spectacular but it can be challenging to find compositions with one clear hero. The North Rim is the best for photography.

Mesa Arch, Canyonands National Park

Canyonlands NP

This national park often takes a backseat to its neighbor, Arches NP. But Canyonlands has Mesa Arch which is the most incredible location to photograph at sunrise.

What Photography Means To Me

Mequite Dunes, Death Valley

Photography is my life

When I was 13-years-old I was riding my bike when I passed a camera store. I looked through the window and saw a used Minolta camera gleaming in the sunlight. I was mesmorized and I wanted that camera.

I saved all my money from my part time job and eventually bought that camera which ultimately changed my life. Photography has been like a friend for my entire life. Sometimes I drifted away from that friend but I always came back to pick up where I left off.

I had no idea how much I would grow to love photography, but I can't imagine living without it.

My favorite Photo

Japanese Maple Tree - Vancouver, BC

This is a Japanese Maple Tree in Vancouver, BC. I discovered this composition by crawling under it and moving myself so the sun was peaking around the back of one of the branches.

I am proud of this composition because it was undiscovered by other photographers. It is one thing to go to the popular national park where there are well known compositions to replicate. But it is another thing to discover a new compostion that feels like it has been found for the first time. This composition is one of those new discoveries and I love it.
