It’s not often that we see a photographer of the stature of fashion photographer and director Nick Knight at work.
This video shows all involved in a fashion photoshoot by the maestro. While not a fast cut, at over 8 minutes, and video follows the process from the crew discussing clothing, lighting and end use, right through to the fashion photoshoots themselves.
The video of Nick at work is very enlightening, in showing his interaction with the models, crew and client.
Nick Knight teaming up with Garage magazine to create a world first, in the form of the first permanent fashion editorial, using actual bodies as the canvas. The two day live broadcast was streamed from 30 November 2013 to and including 1 December 2013 – drawing inspiration from the rebellious roots of body art, and its association with subcultures and tribes. The project also challenged fashion’s fleeting nature resulting in editorial built around an indeliable form of personal expression.
We see Nick Knight as he photographs six models – Cara Delevingne, Georgia May Jagger, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Liya Kebede, Marina Nery and Karlie Kloss, styled by fashion director Charlotte Stockdale. Seven tattooists – Scott Campbell, Maxime Buchi, Freddy Negrete, Len Levin, Madame Chän, Angelique and Doctor Woo – will then dream up their own interpretion of Nick Knight’s images, creating real tattoos on six body art fans.
