Description

From the publisher: "Broodingly powerful, intensely emotional, seductively erotic, and always dramatic, this collection of truly extraordinary images, published here in book form for the first time, bears witness to the quarter-century-long career of [Albert Watson]. Though blind in one eye since birth, Albert Watson is the invisible force behind many of the most iconic images of our age and is best known for his unique and hugely successful work in advertising and fashion....Richard Benson, the world's foremost authority on techniques of photographic, photo-mechanical, and digital reproduction of fine imagery, has applied his unmatched skill to create pages that are faithful to the original silver and platinum prints."
