Albert Watson’s Carmen with a Cup is a surreal and imaginative photograph that transforms everyday objects into a striking and unconventional tableau. The image features a nude model seated on the saucer of an espresso cup, creating an arresting juxtaposition between the delicate, domestic object and the human form. The contrast between the model’s smooth, exposed skin and the porcelain of the cup enhances the surreal quality of the composition. Watson’s use of light and shadow accentuates the textures and contours of both the model and the cup, adding depth to the visual narrative. The photograph invites viewers to reconsider the scale and context of familiar items, merging the intimate with the whimsical in a provocative and artistic manner. Carmen with a Cup challenges conventional boundaries, celebrating the creativity and boldness of conceptual photography.
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. 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 over 100 Vogue covers. 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 essential creative force to this day. Watson has had retrospective exhibitions at renowned museums and art institutions, such as the Kunsthaus Wien, Vienna, The Museum of Modern Art, Milan, The Photography Museum, Antwerp, and the NWR forum in Duesseldorf. His images are in the private collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Portrait Gallery in London.

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.
