My summers were spent working for the National Park Service. During my first summer, in 1992, I was the photography intern at Acadia National Park in Maine.

Recorder in upstate New York. A year later, I returned to New England to become a staff photographer at Foster’s Daily Democrat in Dover, N.H. I accepted this position because it afforded me the opportunity to cover the presidential primaries.

After four years at Foster’s Daily Democrat, I decided that it was time to start my own freelance photography business. So Tim Boyd Photography was started in Dover, N.H. As a freelance photographer, I shoot for a variety of clients, as well as newspapers and the Associated Press, a worldwide news service organization. I am also able to devote more time to work on personal photo projects, and add to my growing stock file.

My work has appeared in many publications, some of which include: Time, Preservation Magazine, MSNBC’s and ABC’s websites, USA Today, The Boston Globe and The Boston Herald, The Miami Herald, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Cape Cod Times, and The Portland Press Herald. I have also been published in all of the daily newspapers in New Hampshire, such as The Union Leader, The Concord Monitor, Portsmouth Herald, The Nashua Telegraph, and The Keene Sentinel.
