As you can see, the exhibition is a real treat. Not only is it amazing to see all of the props and set pieces used in so many of Tim's iconic shots in such detail, but as you walk from room to room you get a real sense of his approach to creating such beautiful images. His work is ethereal, fantastical and dream-like, and it's so interesting to learn how some of his signature aesthetic magic is created, both through his approach to composition and narrative as well as his philosophy that there is nothing which is impossible to capture on camera. I'm already saving my pennies for the accompanying book!
