Tim Walker’s photographs have entranced the readers of Vogue, month by month, for over a decade. Extravagant staging and romantic motifs characterise his unmistakable style. Born in England in 1970, his interest in photography began at the Conde Nast library in London where he worked on the Cecil Beaton archive for a years work experience prior to University. Being placed third in The Independent newspaper photography awards led to a three year photography BA Hons degree at Exeter College of Art. 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 photographed for the British, Italian, and American editions ever since. In the spring of 2008 his first major show was held at the Design Museum in London, which coincided with the publication of his first book ‘Pictures’. In November 2008 Walker received the ‘Isabella Blow award for Fashion Creator’ by The British Fashion Council and, in May 2009, he received an infinity award from The International Centre of Photography in New York for his work as a fashion photographer. The Victoria and Albert Museum and the National Portrait Gallery in London both include the photographs of Tim Walker in their permanent collections. Tim lives in London
