Tim Walker shot his firstVogue fashion story at the age of 25,and has been contributing his magical and eccentric images to the magazine ever since. His fascination with photography began in Condé Nast's London library - where he worked on the Cecil Beaton archive prior to university. A stint as Richard Avedon's assistant in New York followed, before he returned to London to forge his own career. Extravagant settings and theatrical characters are not rare in his work, and he has been behind the lens of some of BritishVogue's most fantastical shoots since those first images back in 1995.
