Designer Days: A Walker through Wonderland

Over the weekend I had a couple of friends from overseas in town and we made our way to Somerset House for a viewing of Tim Walker Storyteller, an exhibition of the works of this remarkable photographer.

As you enter the exhibition you are instantly taken into the imaginative mind of Tim Walker. The oversized props used in his shoots were feature pieces in each room you entered; from the plane used in the March 2009 shoot for Vogue UK featuring Lily Donaldson to the living doll in the January 2012 shoot for Vogue Italia featuring Lindsey Wixson.

Photographs were hung from walls detailing quotes from the great mind himself.

"Sometimes when you are taking a picture an extraordinary sense of luck and chance takes over and propels you to make pictures that you couldn't in your wildest dreams have imagined. This is the magic of photography."

Centre pieces on display were housed in wooden boxes complementing the soft colour pellet of the works.

The extravagant scale and visually appealing nature of Tim Walker's works makes the exhibition a must see. Entry is free and the exhibition is running until 27 January 2013.
