Solo show
Albert Watson has made his mark as one of the world's most successful fashion and
commercial photographers during the last four decades, while creating his own art
along the way. His striking images have appeared on more than 250 covers of Vogue
and been featured in countless other publications, from Rolling Stone to Time to
Vibe, many of the photographs iconic portraits of celebrities.
Albert also has created the photography for hundreds of successful advertising
campaigns for major corporations, such as the Gap, Levi's, Revlon and Chanel, and he
has directed more than 500 TV commercials. All the while, Albert has spent much of
his time working on his own art, creating stunning photographs from his worldwide
travels, from Marrakech to Las Vegas to the Orkneys.
Though the wide variety of his
images reflects an effortless versatility, they are nevertheless identifiable as
Albert Watson photographs by their sheer power and technical virtuosity, whether
it's a portrait of a Las Vegas dominatrix or a close-up of King Tutankhamen's sock.
This single-minded commitment to perfection has made Albert one of the world's most
sought-after photographers.
Born and raised in Scotland, Albert studied at the Royal College of Art in London
before moving to the United States in 1970.
