Tim Walker: Story Teller is a celebration of one of the most visually exciting photographers of our time. This book showcases many of his most dazzling images β€” his daydreams turned into photographs.

Featuring some of the biggest names in fashion and contemporary culture: Alber Elbaz sporting a pair of rabbit ears; Agyness Deyn in the sand dunes of Namibia; Alexander McQueen with a memento mori of skull and cigarettes; Helena Bonham Carter poised with Ray-Bans and a Diet Coke; and Stella Tennant in a pink cloud among the rhododendrons of an English country garden.

The singer and musician Kate Bush contributes a foreword, and Walker himself provides an afterword, while illuminating his pictures throughout with personal observations. This exceptional and beautifully designed overview of a career caught in mid-flow reveals just how much one man's singular vision has influenced contemporary tastes in fashion, beauty, glamour, and portraiture.

With 174 illustrations.
