Nick Knight - Clown


Nick Knight is one of my favourite photographers. He makes fashion photography more than just about the clothes or the models but he creates an exquisite bond between Art and Fashion. The sinister high-fashion harlequin photography and moving imagery creates a surreal and dreamlike vision of a nightmarish twist of Jack the Ripper's third victim, Dark Annie. 

I love the way the images look like they have been smudged or drained of colour, it looks like the water has run across the ink. They become more mysterious and in some sense quite scary and therefore reflects on the sinisterness of the piece.
