Tim Walker: Studio Portraits

http://timwalkerphotography.com/index.php

Tim Walker is a daring fashion photographer with his imaginative props where he displays his models with the props making a theme such as making his images look dreamy, magical and quirky. Tim's work seems to be influenced by films and songwriters such as model Kirsi Pyrhonen wearing a jello hat reminds me of Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory with it's bright coloured funky clothing with a smirk pose as to say "no one is going to know the secret, they have to pass through me first". The models all have different poses portraying their character, the first image just looks like she's going to start having a major tantrum, giving the spoilt child's eyes and the body language just look persuading to give what she wants. The last image is in the style of Lady Gaga with her fun, mental props, the glasses remind me of the song "paparazzi" where she dressed as a mad mouse wanting revenge with her husband. The second image the guy with the skull smoking, I think this is messaging this is what you are going to end up as, a shortened life turning into a corpse and the guy has got this body language as if to say "do I give a damn, this is me so scram". He plots his models correctly by using the space well, making models feel comfortable and keeps the specific style to his image not looking messy and using lighting effectively making his images look clean and creative.
