In Calgary, Albert Watson captures the essence of the Western spirit with a powerful side portrait of a cowboy. Mounted on his horse, the cowboy’s rugged demeanor is accentuated as he holds a rope between his teeth, embodying a quintessential image of the frontier lifestyle. Watson’s expert use of lighting and composition highlights the textures of the cowboy’s attire and the strength of his presence, while the horse’s steady gaze adds depth to the scene. The photograph evokes a sense of timeless authenticity, celebrating the enduring legacy of cowboy culture with striking clarity and detail.
Throughout the last four decades, Albert Watson has made a name for himself as one of the world's most successful fashion and advertising photographers, creating more than 100 Vogue covers over the years. From the iconic Hitchcock series to extravagant shoots for Iris van Herpen, the British star photographer is one of the founding fathers of fine art photography. Mick Jagger, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, or David Bowie – Watson has captured the Who's Who. No matter the genre, landscape, portraiture, nudes, or fashion, Watson is always curious and ready to venture into new subject worlds and has remained just as an important creative force to this day.

Albert Watson
Albert Watson studied graphic design before becoming a photographer. His manipulation of contrast and superior sense of composition distinguish his portraits of celebrities and models. With an emphasis on the formal and sculptural properties of his sitters' bodies, Watson's images have not only appeared in numerous American and European fashion magazines but also in museum and gallery exhibitions.
In Watson’s famous nude photographs of Kate Moss taken on her 18th birthday in 1993, the model's spine pokes through the skin of her curved back, like the scales of a dinosaur, while the right side of her body is entirely shaded. In a 1989 portrait, Naomi Campbell's head is silhouetted against a grey surface, while her bare shoulders and the arch of her back are illuminated. In 2010, he was awarded the Royal Photographic Society's Centenary Medal and Honorary Fellowship.
