Fresh from photographing Kate Moss and the evening of 16th, Dec. Nick Knight was once again in demand - this time signing copies of his new eponymous book, Nick Knight, in the aptly stylish surrounds of Selfridges 3rd Central space priced á50.
It's like any other editing process - you end up pinning everything around the wall. It's comparative. The tricky thing is finding a purpose for the book. It needs a story. There were certain things the book wanted to say. “It started out as 10 chapters - well really it started out as 10 books. I looked at it like an exhibition and a series of rooms." the photographer and SHOW studio founder explained of the book's evolution.
Likening photography to a conversation, Knight explained making a book forces you to deal with the past - he does not especially enjoy it as, like with a conversation you get excited about the one you are about to have, not the ones you have already had. But it is a useful process, it makes you file.
