The magazine of the photo-essay
“A free, really high quality photo-essay magazine. Fabulous!”
Stephen Fry. British actor, writer and film maker
by Nick Knight
In a career marked by longstanding relationships with Alexander McQueen and John Galliano, and having directed
videos for Lady Gaga, and Kanye West, photographer Nick Knight’s constant desire to experiment, push boundaries,
and challenge his audience has led him to take up a new subject, the classic rose - but expressed in an entirely new way.
His Roses from my Garden series is inspired by the work of 16th and 17th century still life painters like Jan Brueghel the
Elder and Jan van Huysum, but these large-scale works could not be more contemporary, dramatising the timelessness
of nature.
Nick Knight cuts selected roses straight from his garden and arranges them specifically, using only daylight to illuminate
his subject. Photographed on an iPhone, the digital images are enlarged and filtered through software that uses AI to
infill the space between pixels. What appears at first glance to be a historical approach to flower photography is actually
at the very cutting edge of imaging technology.
