"Photography, always in some consort with the external world, is a medium of hard improvisatory solving. Teaching photography requires the same seat-of-your-pants sensitivity, cultivating and intuiting students' intentions and figuring out what they've meant in what they've seen."

visiting professor of photography

Tim Davis studied photography at Bard, graduating in 1991. He went on to a career as a poet and editor in New York before returning to photography, receiving a MFA from Yale University in 2001. He has since had solo shows in Brussels, Milan, Geneva, Los Angeles, at Whitecube in London, and three in New York, where he is represented by the Greenberg Van Doren Gallery. His work is in the collection of the Guggenheim Museum and was shown in the Workspheres exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He has published three books: LOTS, from Coromandel Express in Paris, PERMANENT COLLECTION (Nazraeli Press), and MY LIFE IN POLITICS, forthcoming from Aperture. Overall he has said that his work deals with the social meaning of light and the ability of the photograph to describe presences.
