--- title: Tim Walker, Story Teller description: Every Tuesday, a member of our team picks that one thing he or she is obsessing over. This week, account executive Liz can't get enough of Tim Walker's dreamlike fashion photography book. image: https://blog.lotuffleather.com/hubfs/tim.jpg --- [** ](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/tim-walker-story-teller#) [![black_Lotuff_logo.jpg](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0213/4994/t/13/assets/logo.svg?10524817447150324571 "black_Lotuff_logo.jpg")](http://lotuffleather.com) ## The Essentials:   Tim Walker, Story Teller By **Liz Silvia** on Dec 4, 2018   •   Topic: [The Essentials](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/topic/the-essentials) --- - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ![Tim Walker's Story Teller photography collection](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/hs-fs/hubfs/tim.jpg?width=1130&name=tim.jpg "Tim Walker's Story Teller photography collection") Sometimes we all need a break from reality, and to be sure, that break can be found in the whimsical departure resulting from immersing yourself in a story. Tim Walker’s ethereal *Story Teller*, where the acclaimed British photographer shares his visions of eccentrically modern fairy tales, is the perfect antidote to everyday life. While it’s been out for a few years, like any good tale this book is worth coming back to again and again.    ![tim2.jpg](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/hs-fs/hubfs/tim2.jpg?width=1130&height=760&name=tim2.jpg) I love this collection of fashion photography because although there are no words or verbal cues to convey what exactly is supposed to be understood and felt through looking through its pages, Walker’s artistic mastery ensures that onlookers can effortlessly see the story behind it all. It’s really wonderful when a creator can convey universal messages in this way, and his work here definitely speaks to the value of subtle expertise.   ![tim3.jpg](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/hs-fs/hubfs/tim3.jpg?width=1130&height=760&name=tim3.jpg) There’s a dreaminess to every shot in *Story Teller*, and from the UFOs to the unicorns that find themselves situated in the midst of otherwise normal—if not strikingly beautiful—environments, there’s no shortage of things by which to be intrigued. Walker’s use of both models and designers in these scenes brings the notion of the maker and the muse under the same roof in a way that reinforces how interdependent the two really are, and I appreciate that he did this because I think it’s something important to remember. A consummate example of a work that's somehow able to make a grounded impression as it lifts away from reality, *Story Teller* is a stunningly beautiful escape that reminds us not to take life too seriously.  ### Subscribe to Our Blog ### Leave a Comment ### Posts by Topic -
