Tim Walker is a British fashion photographer who's photographed for vogue over the last ten years. He has also worked as a full time assistant to Richard Avedon. His work certainly is some of the most imaginative that i've come across. Who dyes cats a different colour, or projects a film on the side of a house or hangs cakes from a tree or furniture. He creates very imaginative sets that are never shot in the studio and he always uses natural lighting and no flash. If he has to bring an extra light it's to stimulate the natural lighting that's already there. His ideas feature very theatrical characters in a surreal world. He recreates modern day nursery rhymes and fairy tales such as princess and the pea.
.
The work that goes into his sets is amazing and i can't help but apreciate his imagination and how he chooses to show his ideas. He comes up with all the ideas himself and the sets take up to a month to prepare and two weeks to prepare for the shoot itself. Tim Walker says that fashion photography allows him to create a fantasy. He creates a moment in an unreal situation. It's amazing to find out that he never manipulates his images. I think thats his very is truly inspirational.
