"Her latest images — one of which she’s releasing as a poster in collaboration with Solace Women’s Aid and Bella Freud — build on this ongoing story. The images touch on the theme of love in all its different guises, she says, “from love of self, to love of another, to love of body.”
Celebrating love in all its guises, photographer Daisy Walker and fashion designer Bella Freud have come together to create a new portrait series for the charity Solace Women’s Aid. The images, shot by Walker, are a tender look at partnerships as well as self-love, unencumbered by gender or appearance....
Coming together in aid of Solace Women’s Aid, Daisy Walker and Bella Freud have created a series of intimate portraits depicting love in all its forms. To coincide with the launch of Bella Freud’s latest candle, Love is The Drug, the series explores the body, our relationship to it and our need for self-love.
The series is available as posters with 25% of proceeds going direct to Solace. All printed on recycled paper.
"Daisy Walker is known for her earthy, sensuous shots of femininity. The London-based photographer gets under the skin of her subjects, creating intimate, often nude portraits of women at their most primal.... Here the photographer shoots her friend, artist Nico-Lou Monheim Carrasquillo, for an intimate new series shot entirely on the iPhone 12 Pro...."
Her new exhibition, Reunion, is a way of bringing her focus on nature together with another of her work’s primary subjects: the female body.....Comprised of a series of portraits & self-portraits the project is what Walker describes as a representation of “the human and the environment being two equal parties in a relationship”...
...Back in 2017, we spoke to Daisy about her platform Women in Fashion, a non-profit project that ran until this year and championed gender equality in image-making. Her new exhibition, Reunion, seems like the natural conclusion of such a journey. A series of black-and-white, collaged images that find herself and her subjects undressed against a quiet natural backdrop, the series bears all the hallmarks of her work, yet feels freer than ever. “My work focuses mainly on the body and environment,” she says.
"The collaboration came about through a shared passion for sustainability and community. So much of Ssōne’s ethos aligned with my own and the themes in my work. The Ssōne store aims to be a community space for women which sounded like an echo of my own non-profit organisation, Women in Fashion. This was my first meeting after months distanced from the industry due to the coronavirus and it felt like the perfect coming together of minds & values..."
A new photography exhibition from fashion photographer Daisy Walker is opening on 30 October 2020. Titled Reunion, the exhibition also celebrates sustainable fashion brand Ssōne's latest collection Hereafter, and is hosted in the brand's Chiltern Street store.
Capturing the bodies of her subjects and herself outside, in their rawest state, Reunion documents a reconciliation between the Earth and us, its inhabitants. After all, the body is nothing more than a complex collection of atoms and elements, air and water. In times of chaos and confusion, the artist’s eye suggests, a primitive connection pulls us back to the organic environment we have evolved out of.

Meet Daisy Walker, the photographer and founder of Women in Fashion, a feminist collective committed to stamping out bad practice. Already an established name in the industry, Daisy's work has featured in the pages of Dazed & Confused, i-D and AnOther, and she's photographed the collections of Victoria Beckham and Loewe. Her work is about reframing femininity with nudes and intimate portraits; this is the female gaze, defining womanhood on her own terms.
Daisy Walker’s latest series is raising money for London’s Solace Women's Aid, while reminding survivors they are never alone. As a survivor of rape, photographer and founder of Women in Fashion, Daisy Walker, understands the importance of Solace. It’s her experiences with the charity that drove her to produce her most recent series of nudes, Solace, as an ode to both the strength and power she finds in her body as a survivor, as well as a chance to give back to the charity that helped her confront her trauma.
Founded by British photographer Daisy Walker, Women in Fashion is the new activist platform tackling issues of gender,
diversity and malpractice in fashion. Tired of having no say in how her body was perceived, Daisy Walker became a fashion photographer to disrupt mainstream representations of women in fashion and fashion advertising.
