Tim Walker Photography

9 Mar

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. After concentrating on photographic stills for 15 years Tim Walker is now also making moving film.

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.

The Victoria and Albert Museum and the National Portrait Gallery in London include the photographs of Tim Walker in their permanent collections. He staged his first major exhibition at the Design Museum in London in the spring of 2008, coinciding with the publication of his book ‘Pictures’.

In November 2008 Walker received the ‘Isabella Blow Award for Fashion Creator’ from The British Fashion Council and, in May 2009, he received an infinity award from The International Center of Photography in New York for his work as a fashion photographer. In 2010 Tim was a winner of an ASME Award for his W Magazine ‘East Enders’ portfolio.

In 2010 Tim’s first short film, ‘The Lost Explorer’ was premiered at Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland.

Landscape Light Sculptures by Barry Underwood

7 Mar


“These images are documentations of full-scale installations that are built on-site in the landscape. Using illusion, imagination, and narrative, my photographs explore the potential of the ordinary. I approach my photographic work with a theatrical sensibility, much like a cinematographer or set designer would. By reading the landscape and altering the vista through lights and photographic effects, I transform everyday scenes into unique images. Light and color alter the perception of space, while defamiliarizing common objects. Space collapses, while the lights that I install appear as intrusions and interventions. This combination renders the forms in the landscape abstract. Inspired by cinema, land art, and contemporary painting, the resulting photographs are both surreal and familiar. They suggest a larger narrative, and yet that narrative remains elusive and mystifying.”

Bobby Neel Adams: Agemaps

9 Feb

New York-based photographer Bobby Neel Adams addresses the effects of the passage of time with his recent project ‘agemaps’.  A collection of photographs showing the same person at two points within their life demonstrates the affects of aging upon the human body,  reminding us of our mortality. the images are printed at the same proportions and hand spliced to create a dual representation of the person across decades.

‘The point at which the images are physically torn together becomes the boundary line (or bridge) between decades of passing time, to me they provide an eerie life-map, staring towards our future.’ – bobby neel adams
