SEVEN SEMINAL IMAGES BY TIM WALKER

Fiona Mahon, Hunger Magazine, September 26, 2016

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.
