Nick Knight is a photographer i have researched in the past and I am sure i will keep returning to. His images are always strikingly different and interesting. The Pirelli images become almost abstract, I like the blurring techniques he has used here. The colours and shapes become the focus of the photographs. I would like to attempt similar techniques within my own work.
"This Calendar portrays an imaginary world, so I wanted the images to evoke fantasies, simply hinting at or suggesting forms and situations," Knight explains. "When we dream, we use a wide perspective, and the image may be clearly defined in some details while it is out of focus in others. Of course, the technique must also lend coherence to the images from a visual standpoint."
Knight's post-production technique, based on the "merging" and chromatic processing of the photographs, proves to be quite well suited to this particular project: each shot is perfectly defined in some points, less in others. "In each photograph there are situations or symbols to decipher," Knight concludes. "I want people to be puzzled by this Pirelli Calendar and have fun looking at it and looking at it again, discovering a meaning of their own each day".
