Tim Walker, London photographer

I have had quite the intense week personally, which photographically means first of all at times like these I withdraw from taking photographs for a while, and secondly, when feeling a little better, I seek solace in reading, etc, but also browsing art and photography.

One image that cheered me up yesterday was this one...



oh how I would love to stay (or visit) there,
with balloons! Of course. :)

The image is by Tim Walker, whom I have just discovered, thanks to the above image, and who is a stunning fashion photographer, e.g...



The image to the right also reminds me of a dear friend, who would create things like this, on a different level. It reminds me of her hallway tree, and by the way, this is the hallway of a house that the first photo here reminds me of, and she is also just the sort of wonderful, whimsical friend who would adorn her house with balloons as well.

Well. I am now officially cheered up. :)

Tim Walker (stunning!)

every time i unexpectantly come across a sally mann image,
no matter how familiar, it stops me, in awe.
Always in love with her images. sigh.

Inspiration ~ Tereza Vlckova

Tereza Vlckova, an artist from Czechoslovakia, does not seem to have an online presence bar blog and tumblr love, mini-reviews, and a Paris art gallery listing.
Most of these feature two of her series (both of which are stunning!), two, and A perfect day, Elise.

Two



Besides the dramatic and intriguing, non-smiling 'twins' in nature elements, I love this first one in red the most, as I also have a thing for splashes of red in photographs at the moment. I have been keeping a look out for a red coat for my Amélie for months now, for this very reason. ;-)
In a similar way I love the green in the image below, and the red tights and red berries in the background.



You get the idea..
And, ah, are they true twins or not?
Yes and no. ;)
Which is which?




Another beautiful, and dreamlike series...

A perfect day, Elise
