INFLUENCES AND INSPIRATIONS Albert Watson has no favourite genre. He can deftly switch from landscape photography to portraiture to still life to fashion, from one day to the next. As he has always been open to learning, he has developed an eclec tic style that is patented. He believes that the beauty of photography is that there is no need to lock on to one particular style. This is because with so many great photographers to learn from, the room for improvement is endless. Albert’s deep interest in graphic design goes hand-in-hand with his photog raphy. This combination is often reflected in his books, more so in Cyclops. Titled because he was born one eye blind (in Greek mythol ogy, ‘Cyclops’ is a god with one eye), the book does not have just incredible photographs. It also features 280 Watson-approved fonts that make each page a delight to read.

Living Pho tography Through The Years Albert believes that today, photographers spend their time being consumed with the latest equipment. “I miss superbly lit photographs because now there’s too much use of the soft box, which makes everybody look pretty good,” he says. “But that’s all it is— pretty good. It never looks magnificent or surreal or ‘I’ve never seen that before’.” He also shares his disappointment of seeing a lot of work today that looks exact ly like his own or that of other photographers who were big in the 70s and 80s.But can you blame them?

If there was ever a photogr aphy st y le so amazing that it had to be imitated, Albert’s work is a fantas tic choice.

There is no question that he has influenced photography as greatly as few of his time.

And there is no doubt that he will be looked up to for inspiration for as long as the world loves brilliant photography. Actors Thurman and Jack Nicholson and musi cian Mick Jagger are some of the celebrities who love Albert for his work. recipe for Christmas goose.

THE PATH TO BRILLIANCE Growing up in Edinburgh, Scotland, Albert learned photography on his own through books and trial and error. The foundation laid out for him by the college education he received further stirred his creative endeavours. Watson studied graphic design at the Duncan of Jordonstone College of Arts and Design in Dundee and film at

the Royal College of Art, London. After he moved to the US in 1970, his wife Elizabeth gifted him his first camera for his 21st bir thday. It was something about the way the camera felt in his hand—it fit just right and felt comfortable and easy. Later that year, Albert was introduced to an art director at the cosmetics powerhouse Max Factor, who

offered him his first session o f te s t s h o t s .

T h e c o m p a n y e n d e d u p purchasing two of his photographs. By 1976, he got his first job at Vogue and set base New York, never looking back.

“Our work addresses the holding back we do, where we do not show ourselves, where we hold back our feelings, where we hold back actions. Through listening to the truth of the body, it is possible to discover what we can do, who we can be, what we can experience, how we can love.”
