Gorgeous retrospective of an Icon
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is a wonderful retrospective of one of the greatest photographers, for me he comes close to God, right up there with Avedon, Cartier Bresson, Weston, Penn and other Greats. He has is own unique style wich constantly evolves but remains highly recognizable and iconic. Do check out his first book 'Cyclops', hard to get your hands on one but A MUST for every photographer willing to learn a lot.
Wonderful photographer

Albert Watson is my favorite portrait photographer. So I am definitely going to be biased in this review, but it is a wonderful collection of his work.
