Tim Walker is a phenomenal fashion photographer. The 55-year-old has created iconic spread after iconic spread for the likes of British Vogue, i-D and Vanity Fair, and he’s shot famous faces including Tilda Swinton, Kate Moss and Harry Styles. If you want to play celebrity bingo, you will adore this. Everyone is in it. Frank Ocean, Chappell Roan, Ian McKellen, Michaela Coel, Tilda Swinton and Kate Bush are all in here, shot in Walker’s surreal, Alice in Wonderland-inspired style, which is whimsical, always surprising, and somehow still cool.
