Tim Walker, Story Teller Published by Thames & Hudson, 2017. When one of the most visually exciting photographers of our times turns fashion stories into fairy tales, the results are unmistakable and inimitable. Though they may soar in scale and ambition to satisfy in meticulous detail one of fashion photography’s most original eyes, they are painstakingly realized – and with no concession to artificial enhancement. In this collection of Tim Walker’s dazzling images, everything you see was specially constructed; the make-believe really happened. In Walker’s pursuit of the perfect picture no demand appears too unreasonable, no scenario too outlandish, no objective unattainable. The half-forgotten, slow-paced world he conjures up is one of grandeur mixed with eccentricity, of opulence with romanticism and of time stilled entirely. For the most part it is, to say the least, at odds with the pace of 21st-century life. Some of the biggest names in fashion and contemporary culture are here: Alber Elbaz sporting a pair of rabbit...
