Tim Walker: wonderful things

By

Abstract

"A journey through the unique creative mind of one of the world's leading photographers, this book includes over 100 new photographs by Tim Walker, inspired by the V&A's enormous and eclectic collection, from Renaissance stained glass to an Alexander McQueen gown. Known for creating fantastical, elaborately staged images, Walker collaborates with set designers, stylists, hair and make-up artists, models and muses to bring his imagination to life. This publication celebrates these myriad creative talents and records Walker's unique processes, from his detailed research in the labyrinth of stores and galleries at the V&A South Kensington and V&A Museum of Childhood, preparatory sketches and behind-the-scenes photographs, to spectacular final pictures." -- Publisher's description.
