Biography

Nick Knight is a fashion image-maker and director of SHOWstudio.

Amongst the world's most influential and visionary photographers, Knight has consistently challenged conventional notions of beauty and is fêted for his groundbreaking creative collaborations with leading designers including Yohji Yamamoto, John Galliano, and Alexander McQueen. Advertising campaigns for clients such as Christian Dior, Tom Ford, Lancôme, Swarovski, Levi Strauss, Calvin Klein, and Yves Saint Laurent, as well as award-winning editorials for publications including W, British Vogue, Paris Vogue, Dazed & Confused, AnOther, Another Man and i-D, have consistently kept Knight at the vanguard of progressive image-making for the past three decades.

Knight's first book of photographs, Skinheads, was published in 1982. He has since released Nicknight (1995), Nick Knight (2009), and Flora (2014), a series of flower pictures. Knight's work has been exhibited at international institutions such as the Victoria & Albert Museum, Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Saatchi Gallery, The Photographers' Gallery, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Hayward Gallery. In 1997, he produced a permanent installation, Plant Power, for the Natural History Museum in London. In 2019-2020, Knight exhibited his first major still life exhibition Roses at Albion Barn, Oxford. In 2022, Knight was awarded the Master of Photography Prize by Photo London.

A long-standing commitment to experimenting with the latest technologies led to Knight launching his award-winning fashion website SHOWstudio in 2000.
