Albert Watson: Legendary Photographer of Fashion and Celebrity

where he provides nuggets of advice and behind the scenes on his iconic images.

“I did mention in the book the idea of a ladder to approaching your career…being on a ladder, try not to think that there are 20 steps in the ladder. Try not to think about step number 20. “Sometimes the photographer picks up a camera and starts shooting,” says Watson. “Sometimes the pictures can have a naivete and simplicity. There’s a lot of philosophy nowadays that people like very simple photos. They like the idea that they did the picture with their iPhones.

“Now, a lot of the people working in fashion only think about the immediacy of the image. They don’t think about any journey to a gallery or a museum. They just think about the journey into Instagram and if it works. On Instagram, you’ll see a very ordinary image, and then you read the comments which are ‘fabulous, amazing, amazingly great, phenomenal,’ you know, and lots of hearts, 20 hearts, and yet the image to me looks like nothing.

“I shot both negatives and slides. I prefer negatives, but magazines often chose slides as they’d put them in a projector and view them. “Between my first University and the postgraduate, I got a scholarship from IBM to tour America. I was fascinated by America and thought it would be an excellent place to start as a photographer.
