Research Objective No.2 : Tim Walker




Tim Walker is a well known photographer who’s expertise are within the field of fashion I think that his work is amazing, an study his work thoroughly as I want to go into the field of fashion photography. I love that he captures more than the commercial expectation of fashion, or the typical stereotype of a fashion photographer just capturing the garment but he brings another dimension to Fashion Photography.

 Above is a photograph of Kate Moss taken by Tim Walker, what drew my attention most about this image was the lighting I love the shape formed on her face by the shadow it automatically gave the photograph a dramatic edge of mystery, you could even say there’s a slight gothic horror mood being created, this feeling is enhanced by the mysterious hand that she appears to be holding. 

  I attempted to imitate the dramatic lighting in my image, because my location was out doors I was concerned that I would not have access to artificial light and the flash on my camera would overpower the effect I wanted to create. However there were floor lights on our location, so I used them to our advantage and positioned my model over the floor light to gain the dramatic shadow/lighting on her face.
