Time to research...

For me to follow through with my 'time' experiment, I knew that I would need inspiration from other photographers to get my ideas into a photograph successfully.

Tim Walker's photographs stood out to me as perfect inspiration for my photos and linked clearly with the ideas inside my head.
He has worked as an assistant for Richard Avedon, as well as shooting his first fashion story for Vogue at the age of 25. His photographs have entranced readers of Vogue, month by month, for over a decade now. Extravagant staging and romantic motifs characterize his unmistakable style. Coming from a fairytale approach he mixes stories with reality to create his amazing, one of a kind photographs.
Below are some of Tim Walker's' photographs:



I like the way he can take a character from a story and place them in a real life scene and yet still have that essence of the charcater shining through the objects around them. He almost has that essence of beauty shining through every photo, as well as his own quirky style from a fashion point of view.

I found another photographer which caught my eye, John rees. Although he is not a recognised photographer, I really like the way he can capture inner beauty behind the face paint and disguises of the model's faces. Its a quirky, almost gothic take on fashion/beauty shots.
Here are some examples:
