Devon Aoki for Alexander McQueen, 1997

Nick shot this iconic composition for the cover of Visionaire in 1997. The photograph pushes the boundaries of both the photographic process and aesthetics. It is at once directly confrontational and thought-provoking, capturing Aoki with a dark, futurists aura that infuses her glamour; a safety pin slashes through her forehead, her eye appears blank, her skin gray. Nick worked hand in hand with Lee McQueen to create this hauntingly beautiful composition. It’s an ode to their long, creative partnership. The image also reflects the future oriented movements of the late 90s – pushing the limit of what digital technology had been able to do in that period. Many consider this one of Nick’s masterpieces. - Carrie Scott, Director and Curator, Nick Knight Archive

Bjork, 2015

It is always a joy to photograph Bjork because as much as her music is unconventional so is the way she moves in front of my camera.  She expresses the nuance of every emotion using her whole body, from her fingertips to her toes.  I also love the way in this image, even though much of her face is covered by Peter Philips beautiful hand made mask, it is still so obviously her. He has often used masks in her performances - it seemed fitting for someone who’s face is one of the most recognisable on our planet. - Nick Knight
