RESEARCH WHICH INFORMED IDEAS – TIM WALKER

Tim Walker is such a storyteller when it comes to his images, each image has been heavily constructed with a team of art directors, stylists, make up artists, set designers and him as a photographer/ art director to capture the story in a moment. His work always makes me feel like I’ve been transported into some new scene or new film or TV show because everything is so dreamlike and constructed perfectly; the models are always placed an interesting position, not necessarily standing on the ground sometimes thrown into the air are hanging from something. As well as the fact that the background is always some interestingly scouted place that’s been done up for the photo shoot.

The first two images are taken from Tim Walker at the Victoria and Albert Museum and the second two are photographs that he has been involved with. When I think of him Walker I think of the photography that he’s created however the Tim Walker at the V&A is a carefully constructive and curated exhibition which visually looks incredible due to the use of imagery everywhere props when you look up to the ceiling wallpaper and being consistent with the style. Pictures and videos are exhibited ceiling to floor which visually looks so interesting as there are so many different screens to look at different things to engage with at once that also bring it together as one whole piece, The style of each of the images have the same colour palette they all look dreamlike and beautifully constructed with a dreamlike outdoor setting And the way that edited such as colour cast having shiny things in images more pronounced as well as more saturated give off a slightly dark pop and flamboyant aesthetic.

The last two images really blew me away it’s Obvious that everyone has worked into the shoot has transformed it completely these photos look like they belong to characters in a film I feel like there’s a whole story behind it and it makes me want to know what it is.
