An Awfully Big Adventure By Tim Walker

A great fashion editorial takes you on a journey like an unforgettable story.

Your sojourn begins with that very first page. As it goes on, it builds the who, what, why’s with such ease that you are certain that the model is really living the story she purports in the spread in question.

Very photographers have that knack of building a fantastical fairytale and bringing it to life, quite like Tim Walker.

His ‘An Awful Big Adventure’ editorial in Mongolia for British Vogue’s December 2011 takes the viewer straight into the poignant unmarred beauty of Mongolia.

The editorial is a good example of one that stays respectful to host location without just being a gimmicky, literal interpretation.

This film shot by Emma Dalzell captures Walker’s ‘An Awfully Big Adventure’ on location in outer Mongolia.

Inspiration // Marc Jacobs Fall 2012 Campaign

I am currently being inspired by this campaign image. There is a distinct obscurity, desolation and intentional displacement that is reminiscent of the photography of Deborah Turbeville.

The above image specifically reminds me of her Women in the woods’ series published in Vogue Italia in 1977.

That faded, slightly dilapidated, blurry style of photography works well with the decrepit Victorian Dickensian direction of Marc’s fall 2012 collection.

Be inspired.

Muse to Vivienne Westwood, model and actress Tolula Adeyemi shines in these new campaign shots for House of Sunny.

Shot by Wayne Johns in London’s picturesque Richmond, the aesthetic of the imagery recalls an elegant bygone era.

For more on the campaign (and upcoming film short) and House of Sunny as helmed by Saville Row trained Sunny Williams, read Tolula’s piece on it here.

Inspiration // Yohji Yamamoto By Nick Knight

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

There are some creative collaborations that are simply genius. The Yohji Yamamoto ads as shot by Nick Knight for fall winter 1988 happen to be some my favorite images by the photographer.

He captures the very essence of Yamamoto’s fall winter 1988 collection with haunting precision.
