Fashion Photography: Albert Watson
We take a look at the work of the man who first photographed Kate Moss, naked, on her 18th birthday
Albert Watson - one of the most successful fashion and commercial photographers working today - was awarded The Royal Photographic Society's Centenary Medal in London this September.
Over the past 35 years his striking portraits have appeared on more than 250 covers of Vogue and many of the iconic figures of our time - including Kate Moss, nude, on her 18th birthday, Alfred Hitchcock and Johnny Depp - have posed for him. His more recent personal photography projects are frequently on display in gallery and museums all over the world.
In this video, Albert Watson reflects on his approach to photography and some of the defining moments, and photographs, of his career.
