TIMOTHY SCHUMANN Senior Photojournalist Timothy began his journey with ION Indie Magazine covering his local music scene in El Paso, Texas. Tim’s lens has captured many “household names" for ION, including Judas Priest, ZZ Top, The Eagles, Ricky Martin and Marilyn Manson. He is equally passionate about independent music, and authored the cover stories for El Paso-based bands, Bash and Fall 2 Rise. Timothy spent a year in New Orleans, working as a photographer in the French Quarter. Now back in El Paso, Tim is picking up where he left off! Visit Tim’s page: www.facebook.com/Photography513.

Shawn is also a talented singer-songwriter-guitarist with the band TFP, thus, he “walks the walk and talks the talk” of today’s hard- working indie artist. He recently delved into the photography realm with his new project “Chaotic Embrace”. Perhaps we’ll see some live concert photography by Shawn in the pages of ION soon? Contact Shawn at: [email protected] TIM CAMPBELL Tim resides in Newark, Ohio, and is both a musician and sound engineer— besides being a Senior Journalist for ION Indie Magazine.

Our resident "wordsmith" for ION Indie Magazine, Tim's passion for music is evident in the coverage and insightful reviews he provides for ION. Tim has brought us such Ohio bands/artists as: The Scratches, Hafrican, and has branched out to conduct the interview with Zoo Trippin’ for this 2017 anniversary edition of ION Indie Magazine. We are stoked to see what is next!
