Millions of people around the world see Albert Watson's work every week - in magazines and newspapers, on billboards and occasionally on pop videos - and yet they don't t know who he is. Watson is probably photography's best kept secret.
Born and raised in Scotland, he has spent most of his life in America where his photos have made him a millionaire. His work ranges from formal portraits and fashion shoots to reportage, advertising campaigns and landscapes, but some of his most memorable images are of rock stars such as the Rolling Stones, Grace Jones and Eric Clapton.
"I'm after an image that has power," he explains, "whether I'm taking a photo of Tutankhamun's sock or of Dennis Hopper." And he attributes the clarity and intensity of his photographs to the fact that he has sight in only one eye.
This profile of the master photographer shows the man at work and at home - both in the Manhattan house he designed himself and in his native Scotland. It includes tributes by fellow-photographer Mary Ellen Mark and Guardian picture editor Eamon McCabe as well as some of his subjects, such as soul singer Al Green and actor Gary Oldman. And, of course, it includes examples of his most famous photographs.
