TIM CADIENTE

Tim Cadiente, a native of Southern California, began his photography career at age 13 after rescuing a camera from his older brother. He initially honed his skills in the Action Sports industry before expanding into music and fashion. His work has appeared in esteemed publications such as Rolling Stone and Vogue, and he has photographed legendary bands like Radiohead, Beastie Boys, Rage Against the Machine, and Tool. His collaboration with Tool's frontman, Maynard James Keenan, has allowed him to creatively direct music videos and produce imagery for Keenan's other projects, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer.

Tim has made significant contributions to various fashion and eyewear brands, including Oakley, Oliver Peoples, and Mosley Tribes. At Oakley, he played a key role in transitioning the brand's focus from sports to a broader lifestyle identity, utilizing his connections in music and entertainment. He later co-founded Barton Perreira, serving as President and creative visionary for the first ten years. In 2023, Tim and his partners sold the brand to LVMH, where it now joins other prestigious brands like Louis Vuitton, Celine, Tiffany & Co., and Dom Pérignon.

In 2017, Tim was invited by the Koenigsegg family to be their sole U.S. hire, taking on dual roles in North American marketing and serving as the driver/manager for the world-record-breaking Koenigsegg Agera RS, affectionately known as "Ruthie."

After leaving his position due to the pandemic shutdown, Tim transformed an old Sears Auto Center at South Coast Plaza in Orange County into Ancillary Studios. 

Since 2020, this unique venue has attracted hyper and exotic car owners from around the globe, as well as prestigious luxury brands such as Koenigsegg, Lamborghini, Roger Dubuis, Red Bull, and Fuji Films. Ancillary Studios was made official when Jay Leno filmed an episode of "Leno's Garage”. Ancillary Studios was also the venue of choice to premiere the final film of Ken Block.

In a short time, Ancillary Studios has established itself as a premier venue for car manufacturers and collectors to showcase their automotive masterpieces.
