Walker also shot "Tales of the Unexpected" featuring Tim Burton and Helena Bonham-Carter for Vogue UK
"Born in England in 1970, Tim Walker's fascination with photography began in Condé Nast's very own library in London - where the photographer worked on the Cecil Beaton archive as part of a year's work experience prior to going to university. His work - underpinned by a magical and eccentric charm - has since gone on to grace the pages of Vogue, where he continues to wow with his extravagant settings and theatrical characters.
- Walker came third in The Independent newspaper photography awards which led to a three-year photography BA (Hons) degree at Exeter College of Art.
- After graduating in 1994, Walker worked as a freelance photography assistant in London before moving to New York to work full-time as assistant to Richard Avedon. When he returned to England, he initially focused his attention on portrait and documentary work for UK newspapers.
- Walker shot his first fashion story for Vogue at the age of 25.
- In 2008, his first major show was held at the Design Museum in London and coincided with the publication of his first book, entitled Pictures.
- Walker received the Isabella Blow award for Fashion Creator at the British Fashion Awards in 2008.
- In May 2009, he received an infinity award from The International Centre of Photography in New York for his work as a fashion photographer.
- Both the Victoria & Albert Museum and the National Portrait Gallery in London have photographs of Tim Walker in their permanent collections.
- Walker has shot two front covers for British Vogue - Lily Cole on the July 2005 cover and Stella Tenant on the November 2005 issue." - Source
