I just googled Count Nikolai von Bismarc after it suddenly dawned on me 'who the duck is that guy?' even though I've seen him with Kate Moss loads of times. The dude is a photographer from a German noble family and this is in his wikipedia entry:
"Von Bismarck works as a photographer.[7] When he was sixteen years old he trained with photographer Mario Testino.[6] Working under Testino led to his first professional photoshoot, titled "like a virgin" and was commissioned by Isabella Blow, at which time he was the youngest photographer to shoot for Condé Nast.[8] He studied photography at Parsons Paris School of Art and Design in Paris, France.[9][6]
After graduating from Parsons, he worked with Annie Leibovitz for two years.[8] In 2013, he produced a photography exhibit focused on Ethiopia.[10] He photographed Princess Beatrice of York for her official 18th birthday portrait.[6] Most recently he has completed a book of portraits, 'The Dior Sessions' published by Rizzoli in 2019, with tailoring by Kim Jones, Artistic Director at Dior Homme.[8][11]
Von Bismarck's portraits have appeared in numerous publications, including the Financial Times, The Telegraph, Vogue, and the covers of W magazine, GQ, and Harper's Bazaar. His reportage work has been featured in several publications including the Daily Mirror and The Times.[8][12][13][14][15][16]"
Shame Becks couldn't have pulled the same strings for Dorklyn eh?
