Tim Edwards

SANE was delighted when the photographer Tim Edwards invited us to partner his recent exhibition ‘As I See It’ and would like to congratulate him on the one-off event’s success.

Tim, who has lived with schizophrenia for fifteen years, generously donated 50 per cent of the profits from the exhibition at St Mary Abbots Centre in Kensington to SANE.

Tim completed a foundation degree in photography at London Metropolitan University and is now in his third year of undergraduate study. He has a considerable portfolio of work that ranges from character portraits, studies of the natural world and London’s urban landscape - he has a particular interest in exploring the startling contrasts between inner-city desolation and the gleaming contemporary architecture that characterises the East End where he lives.

Tim has been very well supported by Tower Hamlets and the East London NHS Foundation Trust and Look Ahead.

The exhibition raised in total £1,200 and we would like to express our many thanks to Tim for supporting SANE and also to his mother, Ms Linda Hirst who is Head of Singing at Trinity College of Music and his stepfather, the Revd Gillean Craig, Vicar of St Mary Abbots, Kensington.

Tim is available for commissions, portraits and events and can be contacted on 07595492079 or via email at edwards.t3@sky.com A selection of Tim's work can be seen below:
