December 22, 2013. Rolled a 6 so today I jabber on about other artists! For today I'm doin' Thomas Knights.

Thomas Knights began his career as a music producer and performer and quickly realized he also had a talent behind the camera. Inspired by underground visionaries like James Bidgood and Pierre & Gilles, and the greats, like Helmut Newton, Richard Avedon, Guy Bourdin and David LaChapelle,  he has a dark, cinematic yet ‘pop’ approach to photography, film and music.

His many music videos for the likes of Marina And The Diamonds, Willy Moon, Karin Park and Maya Jane Coles have amassed millions of views online, and his photography has been featured in Marie Claire, InStyle, Dazed And Confused  and Vogue Italia.

Besides cutting and pasting from Thomas Knights 'about' page you can also see his photos and videos. His photography is definitely in the realm of fashion photography and is generally well composed with some flare from the music world. His videos are music videos for different music groups like Marina and The Diamonds and the bands listed above. 
He also has a youtube channel were you can see some of his videos and share them easier.

His current project right now that is sweepin' the net is RED HOT.

Red Hot is apparently Thomas Knights' first solo exhibition. It is set to premiere in London at the end of the year and features a cast of high profile, good looking red headed men. Mmmm... anyway it is also in line with the Anti Bullying Alliance. Apparently red headed females are objectified and sexualized and red headed males are reviled and shunned, so Thomas Knights goal is to make some red headed men objects of sexual desire. Here are two links about this show; One that has a -sort of- interview with Thomas Knights, and the second which talks a little about the reason behind the show.

Anyway he seems like a pretty cool cat. Besides how can you not love the red heads.
