This is a black-and-white portrait photograph featuring Uma Thurman, captured by renowned photographer Albert Watson. The image showcases Thurman in a contemplative pose, resting her head on one hand while gazing off into the distance. Her expression is introspective, and her wavy, tousled hair frames her face elegantly.
The soft lighting emphasizes the contours of her face, highlighting her cheekbones, lips, and the natural texture of her skin. The monochrome palette adds a timeless and classic quality, accentuating the interplay of light and shadow. The blurred background keeps the focus entirely on Thurman, enhancing the intimate and moody atmosphere of the portrait.
Albert Watson, known for his distinctive portraiture style, has captured a moment of vulnerability and quiet strength in this image. The composition, with its slightly off-center framing and the subject’s relaxed posture, exudes both grace and raw emotion.
Albert Watson is a Scottish-born photographer known for his striking portraits, fashion photography, and fine art imagery. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1942, he studied graphic design at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and later photography at the Royal College of Art in London.
Watson moved to the United States in the early 1970s, where he quickly established himself as a leading photographer. His distinctive style—marked by a masterful use of light, shadow, and composition—has graced over 100 Vogue covers and numerous advertising campaigns for brands such as Chanel, Prada, and Apple.
His portraiture work includes iconic images of celebrities such as Steve Jobs, Mick Jagger, David Bowie, and Uma Thurman, as well as personal and conceptual projects. Notably, his 1981 photograph of Alfred Hitchcock holding a plucked goose remains one of his most famous works.
Watson’s artistic achievements extend beyond commercial photography; his fine art pieces have been exhibited worldwide, and he has published several photography books, including Cyclops (1994) and Kaos (2017). His contributions to the field have earned him numerous awards, including the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his services to photography.
Watson continues to push creative boundaries, blending art and storytelling through his lens with an unparalleled ability to capture the essence of his subjects.

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.
