Timothy Ng's journey as an artist began in his childhood when he was mesmerized by the old images he discovered in antique stores. This early fascination evolved into a lifelong passion for creating tangible, enduring art. During high school, Timothy further explored his artistic inclinations by studying master paintings, which deepened his appreciation for classical techniques and aesthetics.

Initially, Timothy pursued fashion design, studying it for two years at Parsons School of Design in New York City. During this time, he also worked as a tailor's apprentice, where he developed a deep appreciation for working with his hands and crafting items that stand the test of time.

As Timothy delved deeper into the world of design and craftsmanship, he realized that his true calling was photography, particularly in the historic art of wet-plate photography. Driven by a desire to honor and preserve traditional techniques, Timothy mastered the skills of 19th-century photographers, even going so far as to paint his own scenic backdrop to capture the authenticity of the era in his work.

Drawing inspiration from old history books and lithographs, Timothy's artistry is deeply rooted in the past. He wrote and designed a book that compares his wet-plate collodion photographs to those of the 1850s, with many of the graphics inspired by his historical influences.

Timothy now operates his own tintype studio, Broadway Tintype, in Lower Manhattan, where he provides clients with a genuine 19th-century photographic experience. Dedicated to reviving wet plate photography, Timothy infuses this antique medium with fresh creativity. In an era dominated by digital images, he distinguishes himself as an artist who cherishes the timeless beauty and craftsmanship of a well-made, tangible photograph.
