I heart Tim Walker.....

A few posts ago I mentioned how much I love Tim Walker's photography I have since found out more about him,( as my collaboration with Reine by Kathrin Kidger is in two weeks time).


INSPIRATION AND SETTING

The inspiration for these special window’s to another world is drawn from almost every aspect of his life, he keeps a sketch book of words, collages and images that make an impact on him and he draws his inspiration from this impromptu catalogue to create “ a moment that is real in an unreal environment “.
I enjoy the type of dramatic feminine stage he sets and one of my projects next year will be to create a catalogue were my own jewellery is set in this kind of histrionic ambient. It’s so easy to tumble into the special world he creates full of notions of childhood stories, memories and fantasy.

Location, location,location....

I just cant get enough of these stunning pictures taken by Vogue photographer Tim Walker, they are so beautiful, feminine and theatrical. I would love my photos to be like these, although perhaps a little less grand!

We are in the process of organizing a photographer, etc and things are looking quite positive but it may take a while to get organized and decided on. Haven’t found a location yet but was wanting to go take a look around the Durban Botanical Gardens as I seem to remember there being a thickish sort of Frangapany tree “Forest” in one corner of the gardens and as its winter now the trees shouldn’t have any leaves so it would kinda look like a forest of bare grey trees..... As outside can be lovely but comes with a whole range of problems such as weather, light, etc. Im not sure if this will be suitable, will have to go check it out.
