Nick Knight

Fashion photographer known purely for his unique style and way about's of his imagery.
Working for one of the top magazines Vogue.
Knight concentrates his idea's and flow on bringing fresh new medium to the front page of Vogue.


Starting off as a student at bournemouth university, there have been no breaks for the photographer.
After an exhibition he was noticed and commissioned by i-D editor Terry Jones to create a series of 100 portraits for the magazine's fifth anniversary issue. 


After his career took off, he went on to work for companies and advertising such as Audi, calvin Klein and more, working in the editorial and advertising parts of photography.

Knight directed back in 2001 his first music video ever, the controversial Pagan Poetry video, for avant-pop star Björk.
In 2011 he directed the video for Lady Gaga's single "Born This Way”.
Since shooting Lady Gaga, he has continued his chain of work with the talented musician and artist and created some of the new styles and face of fashion onto Vogue's front page.

Knight has an extraordinary way of thinking and creating art, his work above, both the images for vanity fair. I find the photographs very loose and softly lit, creating a shallowness that can join well with the colourful hair, lipstick etc and contrast highly onto the out of focused background and foregrounds.
