Tim Walker

Known for: fantastical staged fashion photography for British Vogue

Tim Walker worked as an assistant to Richard Avedon for a year before establishing his own studio and developing a practice of elaborately staged, fantastical fashion imagery that treats the photograph as a habitable world. He has shot extensively for British Vogue over more than two decades, producing sets that require weeks of construction and teams of collaborators. He is the subject of the retrospective exhibition Wonderful Things, organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 2019.
