Today on back to school - we’re looking at legendary advertising & fashion photographer Albert Watson.
Born in Edinburgh in 1942, Watson was born to a working class family in the suburbs of the city. After studying graphic design and working in the field for a time, Watson and his wife Elizabeth moved to the US. It was here where Watson began photographing for fun, eventually catching the eye of an art director friend who offered him his first paid shoot for his agency.
Watson’s now iconic style was immediately popular and within a year Watson had shot one his most famous images for Harper’s Bazaar - Alfred Hitchcock holding a Christmas goose.
