Blink of An Eye: The Photography of Tim Walker
A few weeks ago, a reader wrote in asking who the photographer was for the Juicy Couture ads I dug way back in 2006. I honestly had no idea, so I dug around a bit and discovered it was Tim Walker, who shoots mainly for the European editions of Vogue and those super-arty fashion mags that all kind of resemble one another. I dug around a bit more (oh, Internet!) and promptly went even more gaga for this British dude's stuff: often compared to Cecil Beaton, it's fanciful, visually baroque, sometimes cheeky and yet oddly serene, with a core of innocence to his work. With his sense of whimsy, I could see him shooting a Francesca Lia Block movie. (With me as the director, of course; we'd work on the Weetzie Bat stories, and maybe The Hanged Man.) He's got a massive photo book called Tim Walker Pictures that I really want, but sadly I can't spend $120 on a book anymore. Or even $80. Oh well. (Kat)

Say something so insightful and witty, it will blow us away. (No pressure.)
Got something to say? We'd love to hear it! Name, email and "type in the weirdo drunken text" thingie are all required to comment; don't worry, we won't email you or anything, we just want to make sure you're not an evil spambot. Keeping in mind the good-times mentality we like to keep going here, we've worked hard to keep NOGOODFORME.COM as fun as possible. We welcome all kinds of comments, but insults/abuse/general bitchery are not tolerated. In other words, we put the smackdown on evil troll posts. If you want to be a hater, please go elsewhere. Now, as Salt 'N Pepa say, "Only the sexy people..."
oooooooooooooh, so pretty!
and yes, you really need to direct 'the hanged man.'

I understand you may look at those pictures as on some art only. But I also try to take some good shots and what I've seen here (especially one before last) just amazed me and causes my eyes to become wet... These colors, contrast and exposure is... just brillant!

The first picture looks wonderful. You can also put that in your room as a decoration. Especially the color of the third picture to the color of the wall, very perfect.

Tim Walker is amazing! Have you seen the Papua New Guinea shoot he did for British Vogue, I think, last year? Pretty mindblowing. He has a couple of photos in "Summer Reading," a show my friend Jen is opening at her gallery next week: www.jenbekman.com
