Tim Walker shoots Lindsey Wixon for Vogue Italia, February 2012

Tim Walker, master of dreams, has once again worked his magic in a beautiful yet slightly haunting shoot with Lindsey Wixon for Vogue Italia.
Styled by Jacob K, the shoot sees Lindsey in a menagerie of beautifully feminine pastel outfits, in a lonely world where her only company seems to be a giant baby doll.



















In classic Tim Walker style, the shoot pays homage to childhood nostalgia whilst maintaining an air of edge and mystery. It is undoubtedly unnerving to imagine a world of total isolation, yet in classic Tim Walker style he manages to keep it high fashion and fresh.
Tim Walker has been one of my favorite photographers for as long as I can remember. Despite primarily working commercially, his style is and has always been instantly recognisable, and this is why I admire him as a photographer. In this day and age it is rare to be able to work commercially and yet still have enough of your own imput to dictate your own style of working.
Another thing I love about Tim Walker's shoots is that he always has the most amazing props- there seems to be no limit to turning his ideas into a reality. The doll in this shoot, although being massively impressive is also REALLY creepy (I think so anyway...) but the excecution is perfect- it all works so well together.
I hope you all enjoyed this editorial as much as I did.
