There are portraits and there are moments in time. Albert Watson captured the latter, an instantaneous time-traveling, era-defining photographer who challenged the ways we looked at portraiture and fine art photography. Often, those ideas crossed over in his work. Sometimes, we have grown accustomed to Andy Warhol and Kate Moss as icons, so often posed and channeling a unique energy that is almost palpable to the senses. But the reasons we feel that way often have to do with the photographer, and Watson (who shot the two legendary figures and others for the likes TIME magazine, Rolling Stone, and Harper’s Bazaar and over 100 Vogue covers) conveys a sense of larger than life experimentation that transcends common fashion photography.
