I’m Tim Ward, a specialist aviation and sports photographer based in New Zealand. I help commercial, editorial, and event clients tell powerful visual stories with imagery that’s consistent, striking, and reliable.

I focus on aviation and sports photography for operators, organisations, media, and brands. My work has been used for commercial campaigns, editorial features, and high‑visibility promotional content where access, timing, and professionalism matter.

My approach combines technical precision with an understanding of high‑pace environments. I deliver imagery that meets briefs, respects operational protocols, and enhances my clients’ visual presence.

I’ve worked with aviation operators, media outlets, and commercial partners across a range of projects. I’m fully insured for professional assignments and committed to delivering work that supports client goals.

Alongside my photography, I’ve spent over a decade working professionally as an airport firefighter. This experience gives me a deep understanding of airfield protocols, operational safety, and access requirements. I bring this knowledge to every project ensuring photos are captured safely and professionally.

Photography started as a passion and has grown into a professional business specialising in aviation and sports imagery. This combination of professional expertise and creative dedication allows me to deliver images that are both technically precise and visually compelling.
