https://padlet.com/kierajohnsonliddle/lg8spl7whzov A research morgue documenting and discussing the studio based work of Nick Knight. en-us 2017-04-24 15:13:18 UTC 2025-11-17 21:58:29 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Lightdecrease.png kierajohnsonliddle https://padlet.com/kierajohnsonliddle/lg8spl7whzov/wish/167869694 The quality of light is clearly shown in this image. This image has a 'HARD LIGHT' as the shadows and highlights have a high degree of contrast- particularly in the centre of her face and the décolletage area. The shadows are deep and dark, and the highlights are extremely white and overblown.]]> 2017-04-24 15:30:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kierajohnsonliddle/lg8spl7whzov/wish/167869694 kierajohnsonliddle https://padlet.com/kierajohnsonliddle/lg8spl7whzov/wish/167871207 This image has a high value, as seen by the high saturation of colour and brightness in the image. Speaking of colour, the image balances the white and grey tones with the vibrancy of the shades of pink on the fabric of the model and the powdery substances that seemingly surrounds her, there are a lot of shades and tones of pink here and they seamlessly bleed into one another. There is also a nice depth to this image, made clear by the clarity of the main subject and the lack of prominent details in the background. ]]> 2017-04-24 15:33:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kierajohnsonliddle/lg8spl7whzov/wish/167871207 kierajohnsonliddle https://padlet.com/kierajohnsonliddle/lg8spl7whzov/wish/167871508 This image uses compositional techniques in an interesting way. it utilises the rule of thirds by placing the weight of subject matter on the right hand side of the image. It also has a build in the subject matter, much like the crescendo in music, which falls along the correct 'lines' to keep the image in keeping with the rule of thirds.]]> 2017-04-24 15:34:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kierajohnsonliddle/lg8spl7whzov/wish/167871508 kierajohnsonliddle https://padlet.com/kierajohnsonliddle/lg8spl7whzov/wish/167871629 This image uses the rule of thirds clearly by centring the main area of the model, her head, towards the left. This creates a weight on one side of the image, letting our eye flow in a natural and linear path across the image.]]> 2017-04-24 15:34:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kierajohnsonliddle/lg8spl7whzov/wish/167871629 kierajohnsonliddle https://padlet.com/kierajohnsonliddle/lg8spl7whzov/wish/167871807 This image is a more abstract piece that Knight has produced. It features what appears to be a model, who could be a dancer, using red fabric to cover most of the identifiable areas of their body. This seems more likely to be a captured moment of a performance art piece, however the content itself is clear. ]]> 2017-04-24 15:35:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kierajohnsonliddle/lg8spl7whzov/wish/167871807 kierajohnsonliddle https://padlet.com/kierajohnsonliddle/lg8spl7whzov/wish/167871959 Nick Knight has a personal relationship with Kanye West- as the two have collaborated on a number of projects; particularly photography collections and music videos such as Bound 2 and BLKKK SKKKN HEAD. This image is one of the images that shows the extent of their artistic collaboration- as the image is intimate between the two subject matters.]]> 2017-04-24 15:35:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kierajohnsonliddle/lg8spl7whzov/wish/167871959 kierajohnsonliddle https://padlet.com/kierajohnsonliddle/lg8spl7whzov/wish/167872124 The quality is clearly shown in this image. This image has a hard light quality, as the shadows and highlights have a high degree of contrast- causing a defined line down the left side of her face. The shadows are reasonably dark, and the majority of the subject area is highlighted so the contrast is still quite hard but it uses overpowering highlight instead of overpowering shadow.]]> 2017-04-24 15:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kierajohnsonliddle/lg8spl7whzov/wish/167872124 kierajohnsonliddle https://padlet.com/kierajohnsonliddle/lg8spl7whzov/wish/167872633 This image has a clear mood, it is an emotive piece thats visibly showcases sadness. The smeared mascara and crumpled looking expression shows this clearly.]]> 2017-04-24 15:37:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kierajohnsonliddle/lg8spl7whzov/wish/167872633 kierajohnsonliddle https://padlet.com/kierajohnsonliddle/lg8spl7whzov/wish/167875304 There is a clear texture to this images background- it looks almost liquified, as if the background were simply melting away. We also have an interesting texture from the mesh or lace fabric of the dress which Knight has expertly captured here. There are interesting shapes created here, the flow of the liquid background into the fabric the model is clutching, into the model herself. It all connects beautifully to create a whole image.
There are clear lines created by the model here, the angle of her leg hidden beneath the sheer material of her dress, the more freeform curves of the background and the hanging of the dress material. There is a no clear pattern in this image, however an argument could be made for the repeated curve of the pink fabric that has been stretched out.]]> 2017-04-24 15:43:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kierajohnsonliddle/lg8spl7whzov/wish/167875304
