Nicknight (Schirmer Art Books on Art, Photography & Erotics)

English photographer Nick Knight is one of the world's outstanding master photographers. His body of fashion, advertising, and portrait photography has set the aesthetic standards in almost all areas of photography and defined a style of its own. His first book, covering 15 years of his work and first published in 1994, is now available again in an unchanged format. Bound in midnight-blue artificial suede, this luxurious volume is the brainchild of Manchester-based designer Peter Saville of Pentagram, who also came up with the playful title, the mutation of the artist's name to "Nicknight". Japanese fashion journalist Satoko Nakahara has compiled a biography of the artist using interviews with his friends and famous clients.
