Not being an avid reader of fashion magazines, I wasn't familiar with Walker's photographs. But his work is so much more than the ordinary series of glossy spreads. I was utterly and completely entranced. The images had the most fabulous Alice in Wonderland quality:

Tim Walker, Lily Cole and Spiral Staircase, Whadwan, Gujarat, India, 2005, British Vogue
And they invariably captured a very English sensibility:

The photographs were complemented by numerous pages from Walker's scrapbooks as well as a few rather amazing props from the shoots.
Tim Walker Pictures is most definitely worth making a trip into London for. Now I just need to save up my pennies (lots and lots of them) for the limited-edition exhibition catalogue!
n some of his photographs (sadly not in real life) and they are wonderful. Sounds like a good day.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of that exhibition, so thank you for sharing the photos, I'd love to go and see them now
ReplyDeleteThose photographs are stunning! And the catalog looks fantastic, too. Sounds like a lovely day all around.
