Tim Walker Pictures


Tim Walkers book Pictures is a collection of his work, editorials for vogue and pages from his scrapbooks. The scarp book pages show his inspiration and drawings of his ideas with lighting diagrams. 
The book gives an insight as to how he works and how he generated his weird and wonderful, quirky ideas.
By having all his work laid out together shows how imaginative Tim Walker is and how versatile his work is although all his work looks similar at first.
I love how his work is all natural, he doesn’t use any Photoshop in his work, I think that is why his work is so beautiful, any one could take a photo of cats and turn them pink in Photoshop but Tim Walker has some how turned them pink for the shoot.




I love this photo and how all the dresses are lit up, it has a very weird and dreamy feel. The way it has been lit enhances the dreamy feel as it id very bright  and unnatural, Tim Walker got his inspiration for this shot form a vintage dress shop in Bath where dresses would be hung from the ceiling as they were so big, I the winter light would glow through them.



This photo has a strange messy elegance to it, the beautiful old house full of pretty lamps, which are all wonky, Lily Coles beautiful dress teamed with numerous hats give the image a dreamy miss matchy feel to it. The  huge watering can fits in perfectly, looking like they should be there which is odd as there would never be a huge watering can and butterflies in an old room. The soft yellow lighting makes the photo seem warm and inviting.




I love how this photo has a very British feel to it with the British cars and traditional beds and all the picnic baskets, rugs and all the other items that may be small but with out the it would not be the same. This is one of my favorite Tim Walker photos, it has a very traditional feel to it with a bizarre twist.
