Knop moved to New York, and in 1983 became first assistant to Henry Wolf, trend setting art director for Esquire, Harper’s Bazaar and Show Magazines during the 60’s.

The final image evolves organically as the subject relates to the photographer and the camera. Knop utilizes line, texture, shadow and light in a way that is both abstract and sensual.
