Nick Knight CBE is one of the most influential image makers of our time.
As the founder of SHOWstudio and a visionary fashion photographer, his work with designers such as Alexander McQueen, John Galliano and Yohji Yamamoto, and musicians including Björk, Lady Gaga and Kanye West, has defined modern culture.
In this episode, Nick joins me to talk about his long creative relationship with Paul Weller.
From photographing The Style Council at Solid Bond Studios through to the striking imagery of Paul’s early solo career, Nick shares the stories behind some of Weller’s most memorable visuals. We discuss:
- His first encounters with The Jam and The Style Council
- What made Paul Weller such a compelling subject to photograph
- The influences behind iconic shoots, including the inner sleeve of Our Favourite Shop and the debut solo album cover
- The role of fashion, style and visual culture in Weller’s music
- Nick’s reflections on music, image-making, and capturing emotion through photography
