Fashion photographer put in the frame for Design Museum show

08 May 2008
The Design Museum in Shad Thames is presenting an exhibition of Tim Walker's photography alongside the archive of images that have influenced him.
Walker, 37, works almost like a film director in creating stories for his shoots for magazines including Vogue and stores such as Comme des Garçons and Gap.
He said: "I'm constantly collecting postcards, newspaper cuttings, extracts from books I read. I put them into a big box and cut them out and put them into a scrapbook."
Typical Walker pictures had a natural setting with "horses, nature, fields, clouds". For a photograph of a woman on a horse in a stately home, he consulted Tony Smart, a horse trainer who has advised on films such as Braveheart. He recommended Walker used a pure-bred Spanish horse because of its high-stepping gait, which would help it negotiate the stairs of Eglingham Hall in Northumberland.
