Timothy Archibald

Timothy Archibald has long believed that photography and the arts are a lifelong journey—a path shaped by continuous exploration and a personal connection to the medium. Introduced to photography as a teenager through the guidance of a strong mentor, Timothy has carried that spirit of mentorship throughout both his commercial and artistic careers, striving to build communities that nurture creative growth. As a working commercial photographer, his work has been featured in Communication Arts Photography Annual, American Photography Annual, Popular Photography, and Photo District News. His commercial client list includes major brands such as Facebook, McDonald’s, American Express, Netflix, and Botox Therapeutics. Beyond his commercial practice, Timothy’s personal projects have led to lectures and exhibitions at institutions ranging from SFMOMA and Emory University to the Museum of Sex in New York City. His work is also included in the permanent collection of Le Musée Français de la Photographie in Bièvres, France. Timothy’s current project is a work of narrative fiction titled The AI Camera Club. He is the Director of the School of Photography at The Academy of Art University.
