Introduction by Michael Comeau: Albert Watson might be the world’s greatest living photographer. Armed with an education in graphic design and film, Albert has been breaking the rules of photography for nearly 50 years. His body of work is best described as intimidating. In a world of specialists, he has created iconic pictures in virtually every genre, including portraiture, fashion, landscapes, and still life. Even more unusually, his visual fingerprint can be seen in every image he produces. That fingerprint is an uncommon dedication to visual excellence, determined by his taste. That could mean lighting a supermodel with a sharp beam of hard light. Or focusing on a boxer's neck. Or even handing a gun to a chimp. https://www.graphis.com/store_/product/journal-363/

A group of established photographers, curators and media types have united to create Images for Humanity, a nonprofit that is using photography to help people in crisis in Ukraine. Via the sale, supporters will find photos from Rankin, Albert Watson, Herb Ritts, Kennedi Carter, Ike Edeani, Mary Ellen Mark and Cait Oppermann, among others. Individuals can purchase an archival print from an unsigned and unnumbered edition of 10 with each $250 donation. Photographers Ron Haviv and David Butow, who each have been to Ukraine since the war erupted, are also involved with the sale.

Albert Watson interview and photographs featured in Faddy Magazine's 27th Issue.

Albert is interviewed by Nadja Sayej for Barron's Magazine. Together they talk about Albert's new educational book with Masters of Photography, as well as his experience with photographing celebrities.

The Scottish maestro, who has shot Kate Moss, Alfred Hitchcock, Mike Tyson, and more than 100 Vogue covers, imparts his extensive knowledge and experience in an exclusive interview with British Vogue.

There are portraits and there are moments in time. Albert Watson captured the latter, an instantaneous time-traveling, era-defining photographer who challenged the ways we looked at portraiture and fine art photography. Often, those ideas crossed over in his work. Sometimes, we have grown accustomed to Andy Warhol and Kate Moss as icons, so often posed and channeling a unique energy that is almost palpable to the senses. But the reasons we feel that way often have to do with the photographer, and Watson (who shot the two legendary figures and others for the likes TIME magazine, Rolling Stone, and Harper’s Bazaar and over 100 Vogue covers) conveys a sense of larger than life experimentation that transcends common fashion photography.

In what is a very long overdue survey, the Savannah College of Art and Design's FASH Museum of Fashion + Film presents Albert Watson: The Light Behind the Lens, Watson’s first solo U.S. museum exhibition. Seen as a whole, the more than 50 works showcase Watson's incredible and groundbreaking use of light and shadow, which was guided by his early studies in graphic design and film. Perhaps that is what has made Watson so unique, spoke of in the same breath as Avedon and others, is that he pushed the photography medium to new heights and possibilities. Watson once said that "Really good portraiture is a two-way street where someone is throwing little gems out and you're grabbing them." The irony is that Watson has spent a lifetime throwing those gems back at his subjects, and the harmonious relationship continues to thrive. —Evan Pricco
