This Nick Knight, I tell ya, he’s somethin’ else with them pictures. Heard the name, see? Nick Knight photo documentary, that’s what they call it. He takes pictures of all sorts of folks, even them fancy models and singers, like that Kylie Jenner and Bjork. I seen some of ’em, all glittery and shiny.

He started out takin’ pictures of regular folks, them rough-lookin’ skinheads. Not like these days, all fancy and such. Now he’s got this Nick Knight photo documentary style, makes everything look kinda futuristic, like them space movies.
- He did pictures for magazines.
- He made them album covers for singers.
- He’s got this website, SHOWstudio, where he shows how he does it all.
This fella, he ain’t afraid to show the real stuff, you know? He does pictures about gettin’ old, or bein’ big, or even them folks who get all them surgeries to change how they look. Nick Knight, he’s a straight shooter with that camera.
They say he’s been snappin’ photos for forty years. Forty years! Can you believe it? That’s a long time. He started way back when, takin’ pictures of them skinheads in England. Tough lookin’ bunch, they were. Now, he’s all famous, takin’ pictures of them fancy folks in the fashion world. Big stars, singers, you name it. He’s done pictures for that Kylie Jenner girl, and that Bjork, and even David Bowie. Heard of him? Big singer, he was.
He’s got this website, see? Called SHOWstudio. Fancy name, ain’t it? He shows how he takes all them pictures there. Says it’s good for everyone to see how it’s done. From start to finish. Like watchin’ someone bake a cake, but with cameras and lights and all that. I reckon it’s interestin’ to see how these things are made.
This Nick Knight photo documentary thing, it ain’t just pretty pictures. He takes photos of things folks don’t usually talk about. Like gettin’ old. Nobody likes to talk about gettin’ old, but he ain’t scared of it. Shows it like it is. He shows all those wrinkles and grey hairs. Same with folks who are a bit bigger. He takes their picture too. Shows ’em just as they are.

And then there’s them folks who like to change how they look. You know, with them surgeries and all that. He takes pictures of them too. Shows all the cuts and the changes. Some folks think it’s a bit much, but I reckon he’s just showin’ the truth. What folks do to themselves, you know? It ain’t always pretty, but it’s real. He’s got a good eye, that Nick Knight. He can make a simple picture tell a whole story. It’s like them old paintings, but with a camera.
He takes them pictures, see, and he makes ’em look all different. Like somethin’ from the future. All shiny and new, even if it’s somethin’ old. It’s like magic, almost. He’s got all these fancy ways of doin’ it. Lights and computers and whatnot. I don’t understand all of it, but it sure looks fancy.
He does these videos too. Little clips showin’ how he works. Like a behind-the-scenes look at all that picture takin’. You can see him workin’ with them models and changin’ the pictures on the computer. He sure knows what he’s doin’. He’s a real artist, that Nick Knight, even if he uses a camera instead of a paintbrush.
He did this one thing, called it #StyleShootDraw. Don’t ask me what that means. But it was for some magazine. He took pictures, and they drew ’em. Sounds kinda strange, but I guess that’s what them art folks do. They like to do things different, you know?
Some people say he’s showin’ what the world really looks like, but with a focus on what’s happening in society. They call it social documentary photography. He’s just showin’ it how it is. And that’s somethin’, ain’t it? To show the world, the good, the bad, and the ugly. That’s what this Nick Knight photo documentary is all about, I reckon. Showin’ the truth, even if it ain’t always easy to look at.
