(Nick Knight album cover for Suede, with Peter Saville, Art Director)

Nick Knight has been one of my favourite photographers for a long time, and for very many reasons. His ability to continually push the envelope and embrace new technologies as a photographer perhaps has no peer.

He was one of the first photographers to wholly take to the web, as the Creative Director of SHOWstudio, a site and blog devoted to all his projects and behind the scenes outtakes.

So I was very pleased to see an article (login required) in this weekend’s T:Style Magazine devoted to Mr. Knight. I didn’t know that he begat such a strong lineage of photographers such as Solve Sundsbo (and he turned down Juergen Teller because his work was already too strong!).
