Tim Walker has a unique collaborative relationship with the models that he works with. His initial ideas and references, communicated via storyboards and mood boards, evolve by allowing ideas and direction to be contributed by the models as the shoot unfolds. In sharing his references, Tim allows the models to 'inhabit' the character they are portraying, in order to build the story he wants to tell.
They're conduits of beauty. They walk into a picture and they make the impossible possible by believing in it and somehow having the ability to belong in it.
