i-Cons: Tim Walker

For the latest issue of i-D, we joined forces with the boundary-pushing photographer Tim Walker. In over 80 shoots, Tim captured some of the most brilliant, inspiring and resilient young creatives working in London today. Here cover-star, Adwoa Aboah sits down with the elusive image-maker himself for a very special i-Cons - to discover more about the mantra, 'Stay Weird, Stay Different' that inspired the issue.

adwoa is so fucking gorgeous ! Her voice and look is everything

[@Gahanika]

Tim Walker is such an inspiration, I decided to start photography at almost 40 because of his work

[@the_lovely_drawing8514]

I adore Adwoa so much. and i can honestly listen to her voice all day.

[@gigilarsen]

I'll watch anything starring Adwoa

[@gigilarsen]

His work is absolutely breathtaking!

[@OCUBOX]

She's very good at interviewing too!

[@claraaramburo758]

I love to see interviews with Adowa, she is true with the person she is with, it seems like she doesn't have to pretend to be some kind of person or to have a pose, and that makes her create a good connection with the person she is interviewing. Totally love her.

[@Salam.2000-]

'Pretty sick photography. I like how he's not afraid to push out of the norm.

[@mandisashabalala6466]

Uniqueness is beautiful.

[@lolaa8828]

I just saw adwoa today and she was so incredible calm when everyone surrounding her was freaking out about here being there. She was so nice and so down to earth,you know?

[@Jordanatorr1]

[@milowska_agata]

Tim's advice really hits home. Great interview!

[@ejsbxbeiaskd1770]

love adwoa

[@vanderzwan69]

Thank you for all the moments you have given .

[@mildredhighcock7333]

I find the interviewer sullen, bored, uninterested, scared to smile, chavvy almost....the type who won't give compliments or receive them well. I don't get her success at all aside from who her mum is...Tim's work is magical and these people he's captured are all astounding. What a joy to see.

[@MarianaAnselmo30]

[@ccosmac]

♥

[@issahr]

I'm a huge admirer of Tim Walker, but I just thought it was kind of strange/interesting how David Lynch's portrait was so minimalistic. I guess most of the white portraits has a simplicity over them, but David was kind of left with nothing, almost like a blank canvas. I'm just curios, any thoughts on why that is?

[@michaelwayneosborn4114]

Isabel .Hoyos he does that more than you’d think

[@sophiechr416]

Very nice

[@alonsiegal]

Please do more icons

[@JohanSebastianEscobar]

What is the beginning song?

[@hrthykw3255]

Ghost in the Shell

[@carlosescobar9094]

Myrtle Snow is that u girl?

[@nnnliniii7775]

How to pronounce her name?

[@Dfungcho]

It's not Kristen Stewart. It's Kristen McMenamy. 5:02

[@Callmedstone]

Lol who is this gorgeous presenter?? 👀

[@andresjaime9634]

King of Hipsterlandia

[@tonyassi]

He did a really cool staged paparazzi-style ad campaign worth checking out. Kanye and Balenciaga ripped him off.

[@michaelwayneosborn4114]

Psychic Astro Club for who?? Can you remember

[@manuelbranco173]

hmmm - his work is really wierd

[@ThomasIsTrash]

why is no one talking about the fact he said the other model will go further than her hahahah ??

[@blinky1892]

If you look at the posture of the interviewer and the interviewee, it looks like the positions are reversed. Adwoa could do with showing a bit more interest/sitting upright.
