Albert Watson, born 1942, is a Scottish fashion, celebrity and art photographer. He has shot over 100 covers of Vogue and 40 covers of Rolling Stone magazine since the mid-1970s and has created major advertising campaigns for clients such as Prada, Chanel and Levis.
Watson and his wife Elizabeth emigrated in 1970 to the United States. Albert began his career in Los Angeles and then moving in 1976 to New York City.
In 1970 Watson began shooting photos, mostly as a hobby. Later that year, Watson was introduced to an art director at Max Factor, who offered him his first test session, from which the company purchased two images. Albert began booking for top fashion magazines and commuted between Los Angeles and New York. In 1976 Albert and Elizabeth moved to New York and Albert’s career took off. ~ source Albert Watson (photographer) – Wikipedia
