BOOK: NICK KNIGHT by NICK KNIGHT
November 17, 2009
“The most brilliant thing about photography is that it’s a passport into any social situation whatsoever” says Nick Knight, Director of SHOWstudio and one of the world’s most influential photographers. “It’s a ticket to photograph the President of the US, or a heroin addict in Camden, or a prostitute in Paris, or the biggest recording star in the world. Becoming a photographer is a way of finding out about people – finding out about life – and experiencing what they experience.”
His recently released book NICK KNIGHT is a collection of the most beautiful and important images as well as previously unpublished photographs, covering the different aspects of Knight’s work to explain and visually reveal his point of view on a range of topics that he believes are crucial to understanding the motivation behind what he does.
