“I wanted it to be Nick,” said Sophia of this iconic Victoria’s Secret shoot, taken from Issue 54 of 10 Magazine. “It had to be him. I don’t know what I’d have done if he’d said no.” Thank god he didn’t, because, looking back on these images two years on, it’s difficult to imagine they would have turned out quite so other worldly had Mr. Knight not been at the controls. “‘It’s a bit like giving birth,” she continued, “you don’t know what it’s going to look like till you see the baby. That’s the great thing about Nick’s work, you never know what you are going to get.” Allow us to present you then, with this Knight/Neophitou symbiosis and their twelve-strong progeny – not a bad looking bunch it must be said.
