Nick is a legendary photographer and founder of the influential website SHOWstudio, which has pioneered the use of moving image in fashion. I've come to his London studio to find out more about his incredibly colourful life through the lens of the homes he's lived in. He tells me about growing up in a grandiose apartment in Paris, the impact of his dyslexia, and how falling in love with photography unlocked a relentless work ethic. His unlikely entrypoint into image-making was joining a group of skinheads as a teenager, mainly because he liked the look of the girls. He talks about the life-changing experience of building a house in his twenties, with a certain young architect named David Chipperfield. We discuss the future of AI, how being a photographer gives him unique access to anyone in the world, and the day he turned Lady Gaga into a man. As Nick says, 'there’s nothing more important than the spaces you live in, for shaping you, how you feel about things, making you feel positive about life and love.' He's full of wisdom and wit, and this is certainly a conversation I will always remember. This conversation was recorded in person at SHOWstudio, London. For more on Nick Knight: Head over to our website for more images of Nick’s home  Check out SHOWstudio  Read more about the David Chipperfield project For more from the The Modern House: Sign up to our newsletter for weekly interior inspiration Subscribe to our YouTube channel Follow us on Instagram Check out Matt Gibberd’s latest book, A Modern Way To Live  This episode was produced by Kate Taylor of Feast Collective and mixed by Joshua Munday.
