Tim Walker creates romantic and whimsical worlds that we all wish we could escape to. Whether portraying Alber Elbaz as a cheeky rabbit, or Tilda Swinton as a fairy queen– a very English kind of eccentricity underpins his photography.
Instantly recognisable – his images are theatrical and extravagant, with meticulously crafted installations, costumes and props – “Fashion photography allowed me to explore dreams and fantasy, and that’s what I love about it”.
Regularly featuring Tilda Swinton, Stella Tennant and Karen Elson in his work – he has championed a strong and unique kind of female beauty, drawing out an otherworldly sense of character from his subjects.
