Exploring the face with colour- Nick Knight's colour work

In order for my work to progress, I have decided to also explore the face by using colour. Recently when researching in the library, I came across this technically exceptionally photograph by Nick Knight (directed by Hussien Chalayan ). Here Knight portrays the face as an abstract art form with the presence of multiple colours against a black background. I am unsure as to whether this effect has been achieved through using multiple coloured gels or simply a clever use of make-up, however, this image has inspired me to also use colour when exploring the human face.
Recently I have been listening to a lot of music by "A tribe called quest". Within their album art work I strongly admired the bold reds and greens used; they complement each other excessively
