Welcome to my website and I hope you enjoy
your visit. I am Tim Fountain and based in Rugby. I have been
interested in photography for the past 30 years and finally
converted to digital 4 years ago.
I like to photograph most things although I
specialise in motor sport, nature and transport photography
although examples of all my pictures will appear on my site.
Being centrally situated means I can travel easily to most parts
of the country and do so in search of capturing the moment.
My first love are motor bikes, although I
seldom get to ride my own these days. I try to attend as many
rounds of the BSB as possible along with the MotoGP and various
motocross events. After always shying away from going, I
discovered Drag racing a few years ago and became hooked. Motor
racing is mainly restricted to the BTCC and SCSA although
various other events are attended where possible. I like to
follow F1 Stock Car racing but have not photographed that too
much yet.
We are proud to be associated with Ian
Turburville and his team taking on the might of the top fuel
bikes in the ACU Top Fuel series and the cream of Europe in
selected rounds of the UEM Supertwin championship. The team have
improved consistently and riding Mr Spokehead Ian has set new
benchmarks for UK riders in the Supertwin Top Fuel record book.
The change to digital has enabled me to
both experiment more and also increase the number of photos I
take each year. I am not the worlds best photographer and class
myself as a serious amateur. I will be more than happy to let
you have copies of photos for your own use or publicity and all
I would ask in return is that I get a clear mention and plug.
I am happy to try and get pictures for
anyone at events I’m attending and if there are any specific
requests then please get in touch with me. We are always pleased
to undertake dedicated photo shoots and if you wish to
discuss this please do not hesitate to contact me.
