Tim Walker - Story Teller
When time walker turns fashion shoots into fairy tails, familiar landscapes become unmapped territory, familar faces half remembered. walkers photographs remind us how to dream again.

Agyness Deyn, Simon and KiKi
These are a few photos from the exhibition that inspired my tribal research, i found Tim Walkers photographs mesmerising and very capturing almost getting a snap shot of a story he captures the atmosphere and characters of the photo in such a natural and intriguing way.
His photos of Simon and Kiki mix the tribal earthy world with a modern solidness the harsh comparison is almost quite disheartening seeing a beautifully natural world forced into harsh reality.
I want to capture the nature and beauty of the tribal dress and make up in my design but with a modern, fashion take to it swell, however i don't want such a harsh comparison as walker provides.
