Being a fan of Albert Watson’s work since the early 80’s, I really enjoyed putting this selection together, there were so many great images that I wanted to show you – you can check them out for yourselves on www.albertwatson.com – Albert’s son Aaron says – “Albert is like a mad scientist shooting/creating new work all of the time”. Which is great news us Watson fans!
