NK Guy Born in Montreal during the first snowfall of winter, NK Guy is a Canadian writer and photographer. Along with Art of Burning Man from Taschen, which is a distillation of the 65,000 photos he took at the Burning Man art festival from 1998 to 2014, he is the author of The Photographer’s Dictionary (Rotovision, 2008) and The Lens (Rocky Nook, 2012). He also created photonotes.org for photographic education, and burningman.com.

There is no substance whatsoever to the scurrilous rumors that his true name is a word of ancient power, that dark forces were raised by profane and bloody ritual during the writing of this book, or that the text was in fact composed by a decaying golem who would repeatedly croak, “American spelling!” in a voice of dust and despair.

Guy lives in London, England.
