World famous fashion photographer Tim Walker has enchanted the readers of Vogue and other high-end fashion magazines for over a decade. His photographs are the epitome of beauty and imagination. Tim is able to re-create the happy and nonsensical nature of just about everything it is to be childlike and free in his images. For example his series A Private World, featured in Italian Vogue in 2008, evokes a feeling of being trapped inside a fairy tale and never wanting to leave. If you haven't picked up an issue of Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, or Vanity Fair lately to see his work, you no longer have to. Tim Walker has gathered each and every captivating spread and compiled them into one large scrapbook of his life works, entitled "Pictures." The book features some of Tim's process constructing images and designing sets. The book really allows you to live inside Tim's mind for a little while and experience his whimsical and magical creations as he makes them. There is also a lengthy biography in the beginning of the book that adds to the understanding of his photographs. Tim leads you on a journey in "Pictures" each photograph grabbing at every sense and bending the very edges of your imagination. This book isn't just for the fashionistas of today and yesterday, but has a little something that every person young or old can enjoy for a very long time.

Tim Walker's "Pictures" takes you behind the eyes of one of fashion photography's best and brightest stars. If you want to know what goes into the wild sets and stunning spreads that have been dazzling Vogue readers for a decade, this book is a must have. It's not just the sketches and scrapbook pages that offer insights, but the thoughtful accompanying text and the gorgeous prints. This book has changed the way I approach Tim Walker's images, as well as my own.

Spectacular photography with original themes. One image is more original and captivating than the last. I will treasure the book for ever and keep it in a prominant place so that I can look at it all the time.

Tim Walker's pictures/photos are truly amazing. He has been a major contributor for European Vogue and it is a loss that America has not seen his work. I highly recommend this book. It is enchanting!

Pictures is a real artist book, you get to see the genese of the images and some of them, of course I would like to see more final images but it also make it more interesting? Tim Walker is just one of the greatest artist on the planet !!

I bought this book largely on this reviews here -- I was not familiar with his work. But the book has exceeded my expectations. His photography is so full of life, hope and, well, just fun, it is a great book to inspire a photographer. Also, if what he says is true, EVERY photo in there was not retouched digitally. Meaning he did all the shots in real life and didn't do it in photoshop, which is so rare these days. He reminds me of a the photographic version of Michel Gondry, but there is a sense of capturing the fun innocence in his work.

Highly recommended to any photographer or fan of photography that likes fashion photography but is looking for something different.
