Tim Nighswander is the driving force behind Imaging 4 Art, which grew out of his passion for photography and his love of art. Through his work, he has been given unprecedented access to some of the world's greatest works. It has allowed him to utilize the creative and technical problem solving skills he has developed in shooting on location for annual reports and apply them to the challenges faced in documenting masterworks by artists such as Albers, Cézanne, da Vinci, de Kooning, Judd, Picasso, Renoir, Smith, Van Gogh, or Warhol in spaces not necessarily conducive to photography. The lighting techniques he has honed in shooting products in the studio are adapted to photographing Bauhaus furniture, pre-Colombian artifacts or the sculptures of Matisse, Calder, Cornell, or Giacometti. His photographer's "eye" and understanding of the potential (and limitations) of the camera are crucial in understanding how to photograph outdoor sculptures by Kelly, Koons, Ray, Serra, Smith or Weiwei.

In 1996, in order to facilitate the transition into high-end digital photography, Tim merged his business with a respected Connecticut based pre-press house. There, after extensive research, he set up and ran fully digital studios first in New Haven and later in New York City. In that period, included among the wide-ranging clients were projects for The Yale Art Gallery and Phillips, de Pury & Luxembourg. His commercial work has been featured in Communications Arts, Graphis, and Print magazines and has received awards from the Cincinnati, Connecticut, New York, and Los Angeles Art Director Clubs. After five years, Tim left this position to re-open his own business. His enthusiasm and commitment to work exclusively with museums, art foundations, fine art collectors, and historical societies then led to the establishment of Imaging 4 Art.

Tim has been an award winning working photographer his entire career. His work has been featured in publications and exhibitions around the world. Trained initially as a photojournalist, he moved into commercial photography after graduate school and three years in the Peace Corps. In 1979, he moved from his native Ohio to Connecticut where he set up his own studio, which operated for 17 years. During that time, he worked with clients ranging from large corporations such as IBM, United Technologies, Timex, Connecticut Mutual, and Citicorp to smaller corporate clients and non-profit organizations like The Yale Repertory Theatre and Planned Parenthood. It was also during this time that he began his association with The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, which continues to the present.

Tim currently lives in Connecticut with his wife and business partner, Diane Nighswander. Two of their sons, Tyler and Matthew, attend college and eldest son, Aaron, lives with his wife, Lara, and their son, Dane, in Micronesia in the South Pacific.
