?Roses have such a strong cultural and symbolic value,? says photographer and director Nick Knight (@nick_knight). ?I happily photograph them for hours on end, carefully studying their forms, which can remind me of so many things: sometimes an artist?s brushstroke or a couture dress.? ?In my professional life,? says Nick, ?I can have between 35 and 70 people on my set. So to be able to sit quietly alone in my kitchen and totally concentrate on these beautiful and fragile blooms from my garden is a pure form of joyful meditation for me.? Photos by @nick_knight
