Timothy Archibald - Echolilia


Timothy Archibald

Timothy Archibold is an editorial and commercial photographer from an Francisco. The overall themes that I could pick up from his collections is an intelligent use of light and objects and setting that are seemingly out of place. As seen above, the image is a child lying down in a plastic storage box. You can see the soft light from the curtains illuminating the child and the box.

His collection, "Echolilia" is about his autistic son. Throughout the images he seeks to create an emotional connection with son. The CDC states, "Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a group of developmental disabilities that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges." The images reveal the eccentricities of his son and the mannerisms that maek him unique. This collection is inspiring to me because it is like nothing I have ever seen before. At first glance, you look through the images and are left confused. However, as soon as you look more closely and start pondering the significance of each circumstance you can piece together a narrative of their lives. I like the subtly and the power of light and how seemingly mundane objects can carry so much meaning.
