"This is Tim Walker's checklist for a Christmas shoot in Essex: 20 ballerinas, 17 'mirrored' geese, 250 ostrich eggs (sprayed gold), a box of giant plastic hands, a room full of white umbrellas, 20 Christmas trees, a wolf's head-and-feet costume, a giant pumpkin, fake silver armour, a horse (also sprayed gold), hundreds of 'Arabian Nights' oil lamps, and racks of dresses, costumes and ballerina tutus.
'And lots of rabbits from Norfolk,' Sophie Baudrand, Vogue's fashion-budget supremo, recalls, 'special ones that didn't fornicate, supposedly…' In addition, Vogue bought a vintage Rolls-Royce - cheaper than risking damaging a hired one in a field. 'Fashion Pantomime' was one of Vogue's most expensive few days outdoors. 'I think I've mostly blocked it out,' Baudrand, good fairy to Walker's spendthrift pixie, says."

My favorite fashion photographer? Easy, Mr Tim Walker has it all, and great eye for layout and design, a wonderfully childlike creative imagination, ridiculous amounts of magazines gagging for his editorials AND he's British of course. Mr Walker, we love you!
Whimsical, ethereal, beautiful.
