[edit] Career

After his graduation from Rhode Island School of Design in 1979, White moved to New York, where he began his professional career as a photographer.

After 40 trips to South America in a four year period on travel assignments, he hit upon a jackpot. "I was very interested in doing music and Hollywood and moving into lots of younger magazines like Guitar and little pop magazines. I marched some of my South American work to Rolling Stone and won an assignment to do Yoko Ono," White says, recalling how he surprisingly kick started his dream.[1]

White has contributed to the covers of high profile publications such as Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone and Playboy, as well as hundreds of movie posters for Hollywood’s top studios, including Sony, Paramount and Universal. His work has also been seen on album covers for musicians such as Bruce Springsteen, Aretha Franklin and Jon Bon Jovi.[2]

White — known for his fun-loving presence on the set^{[citation needed]} — has also directed music videos and television commercials. He has recently been honored for his current pro bono work for City Harvest, the ACLU and Riverkeeper. The Newark Museum opened its gallery this summer with a retrospective installation of Timothy's work. [3]
