Portrait Research -Tim Walker

Up on graduation in 1994, Walker worked as a freelance photography assistant in London before moving to New York City as a full time assistant to Richard Avedon. On returning to England, he initially concentrated on portrait and documentary work for UK newspapers. At the age of 25, he shot his first fashion story for Vogue and has continued to work to much acclaim ever since.In May 2013 The Bowes Museum in Durham opened a large show of Walker's photographs, and here, for the first time, his images were displayed in light boxes, giving a new quality of iridescent colour to the works. Curated by Greville Worthington, the exhibition explored Walker’s work beyond the pages of Vogue and Vanity Fair, showing influences from British Surrealism, and a unique Neo-Romantic take on a particularly English aesthetic.

I absolutly love this photographers style they all have a hint of the fairytales i like some a bit dark and some with a victorian twist, even if its not suppose to look like a fairytale they still look magical
 I love the style how is looks old school and has a twist of the moden and with him choosen this pose with Helena bonham carter it works really well.
This is another example of his photos having a hint of magic in them. I like this photo as it looks wired and wounderful and again suits the lady doing the pose as i think she has a strange look about her. Very beautiful photo.
Again I like the look of this photo and the look of the sad clown and I like the way the net is over her face as it makes her look softer.


I also like this photo as he has still kept it looking manly but still abit of the grimm fairytales with the skull and the cigerates. I also like how he has kept everything looking white.
