walk this way

I went to a brilliant exhibition at Somerset House a couple of weeks ago – Tim Walker: Story Teller.
I’d really recommend it to anyone interested in photography, fashion, design, fairytales or anything to do with creativity and imagination...


As well as Walker's photographs and quotes on the walls, the rooms are all filled with props from the photoshoots, creating a strange and beautiful experience that goes beyond what many exhibitions achieve. In one room pieces of a replica spitfire seem to come through the walls, and in another the sand dune from a photograph continues on into the room, merging the two-dimensional with our three-dimensional reality.


If that hasn't quite enticed you, it might help to know that the exhibition’s free (always a bonus), and you could always tie it in with a spin round the ice skating rink in the courtyard!
