nick knight, the reason I got into photography

I can’t blame it all on nick knight. there’s guy bourdin and juergen teller (whom nick mentored) as well. I got a subscription to W magazine in highschool and these three men gave me something to daydream about in chemistry class: fashion photography. (mr. miller, there was a perfectly good reason for me to write “no” as my answer to the question “find the molarity of this solution” on our chemistry final.)

I can safely say that I’m not jealous of the models that have to work with him, though. they’re constantly jumping, dancing, being thrown around like dolls (I wonder if any of them have been injured?) but they’re being tortured for a good cause, in my opinion.
