Known for his fantastical photographs and narrative-driven tableaux inspired by fairy tales and the uncanny, Tim Walker is one of Britain’s greatest living photographers. After studying photography at Exeter College of Art, he honed his craft as Richard Avedon’s photographic assistant in New York. Since then his extraordinary fashion photographs featuring imaginative sets and props have graced the pages of Vogue, Vanity Fair and Another. He’s also published seven books and enjoyed solo exhibitions around the world, among them the V&A’s 2019 blockbuster Wonderful Things. This photograph from 2006 shows the American model Guinevere Van Seenus lying on top of 20 mattresses in a Vivienne Westwood gown in a stately bedroom at Glemham Hall in Suffolk. Typical of Walker’s eccentric style, it prompts the viewer to question the story behind the frame. Who is she? And why is she there?
