Tim Handfield is a Melbourne based fine art photography and founder of The Colour Factory, which he managed from 1980 to 1992. The Colour Factory Gallery, which is located in the arts precinct of Fitzroy, Melbourne, hosts contemporary exhibitions with an emphasis on photo-based art, on a monthly basis.
Handfield's Plenty exhibition explores the margins of Plenty Road between Bundoora and South Morang, where Melbourne’s outer urban development meets the grassy eucalypt woodland of the Victorian Volcanic Plain.

The photographs in the exhibition explore the austerity of new suburbia with its strange and compelling mixture of excess and decay, opportunity and loss as the landscape undergoes dramatic change.
Tim has also established and managed a number of successful businesses including: a professional photo processing laboratory, a leading supplier of technology solutions for design, photograph and video editing, and a web based system for marketing and delivering stock photography. Tim’s current work includes personal photographic art projects, and providing digital photography consulting services to leading cultural institutions.
