Tim Cartledge
Maestro is honoured to host Tim Cartledge as our new Artist in Residence, with his work featured throughout Holiday Inn & Suites Geelong, and our restaurant.
For the past 10 years, Tim has been capturing the world from above, searching for patterns, shapes, and perspectives that only a drone can reveal. Having spent most of his life living by the coast, the ocean is a constant source of inspiration and calmness for Tim.
“Sunrise is my favourite time to shoot, when light transforms familiar places into something extraordinary.”
Photography has taken Tim across Australia and beyond, allowing him to work with a wide range of clients. At its heart, though, it remains a creative process he deeply enjoys, and one that allows him to explore, connect, and collaborate.
We are pleased to share that Tim’s displayed works are for sale and available for you to take home, via his website.
