TIM WALKER; MARRY ME!

I haven't 'met' an image by Tim Walker that I haven't liked. Every single image I've seen of his just gives me one more image to fall in love with, I think he's amazing.

A friend of a friend turned me on to London based photographer, Tim Walker, suggesting I check out some of his work because it's style seemed similar to some of the work of mine that he had seen.

He's done a lot of fashion portraiture for fashion magazines such as Vogue, harpers bazaar and W. He uses a lot of beautiful pastel colouring against grungy, messy backgrounds and his images always seem to come out incredibly chic.

His images are very surreal and bleeding edge and his subjects, props and backgrounds are usually things you wouldn't dream of seeing collaborated into one image. That kind of juxtaposition really intrigues me, and is something I want to try and include into my folio.

All in all I think he's pretty fab.
