Albert Watson

Albert Watson was born in 1942 and brought up in Edinburgh. He left to study graphic design in Dundee and then took film and tele­vi­sion courses at the Royal College of Arts in London. Blind in one eye from birth, he nev­er­the­less chose to invest in pho­tog­ra­phy. In 1970, he moved to the United States and very quickly his style will assert itself and attract the atten­tion of fash­ion mag­a­zines such as GQ and Harper’s Bazaar. He moved to New York in 1976, after land­ing his first job at Vogue. He will then pro­duce many por­traits of celebri­ties and more than a hun­dred adver­tis­ing cam­paigns for major brands. Despite this vast activ­ity, he also devotes him­self to more per­sonal projects inspired by his many trav­els, from Marrakech to Las Vegas, from Scotland to Benin. These free cre­ations, as well as por­traits, fash­ion and adver­tis­ing pho­tos, are reg­u­larly exhib­ited in gal­leries and muse­ums around the world.
