29. Albert Watson

Albert Watson was born in 1942 in Edinburgh, Scotland, who has been in the U.S. since 1976. Watson went to Royal College of Art for film and televison and Duncan College of Art and Design for graphic design. Watson is considered one of the worlds most successful fashion and potrait photography.

Watsons most well known photo is the one of Alfred Hitchock, an English film director and producer. To me the photos ok, but I like alot of his other works.



During his career, Watson racked up 250 covers for Vogue, 650 advertising films, thousands of fashing shoots and music videos. He has done work with movie stars, super models, rappers and even Bill Clinton and Queen Elizabeth. Watson reveived a Grammy in 1976 on the cover of the Mason Profit album "Come and Gone".Watson has done advertising for major corrporations like Chanel, Gap and Levi's.

I could go on and on with Watson and all the accomplishments he's acheived throughout his career. Overall his work is amazing and you can tell he is a focused and passionate person.

At first glance I thought the man with his head in a box was Michael Jackson. But then I took one look at that nose and Nope wrong person. Anyway I do like this photo. The cage the man has his head in is interesting. One wonders is the man trapped, or a prisoner. His face on the other hand seems peaceful.

This also could be viewed very creepy, seeing as the figures head is in a box and you can't see the body. Did he get his head chopped off?



When I fisrt saw this photo, the first thing I though of was spooning. The male is typically bigger than the female, so to have the huge spoon, symbols the male. The woman who seems to be in a state of passion is clenching the spoon, with a bit of sexual guestures.
