Tim Walker is one of the most visually exciting
photographers of our time. This book showcases many of his most
dazzling images his daydreams turned into photographs, dating from
around the last seven years of his career. Some of the biggest
names in fashion and contemporary culture are here: Alber Elbaz
sporting a pair of rabbit ears; Agyness Deyn in the sand dunes of
Namibia; Alexander McQueen and a memento mori of skull and
cigarettes; Helena Bonham Carter poised with Ray-Bans and a Diet
Coke; Stella Tennant in a pink cloud among the rhododendrons of an
English country garden The singer and musician Kate Bush
contributes a foreword and Walker himself an afterword, as well as
illuminating his pictures throughout with personal observations.
This exceptional and beautifully designed overview of a career
caught in mid-flow reveals just how much one mans singular vision
has influenced contemporary tastes in fashion, beauty, glamour and
portraiture.
