  1. This is a truly awesome documentary about some very creative minds and the totality of the creative process.

  2. love him, total inspiration!

  3. Thank you Mr. Watson for paying tribute to Frantisek Drtikol – one of our greatests photographers …

  4. I love Albert Watson’s work.

    With the documentaries, it’s always a difficult thing, as the actual working process is never depicted. So you end up with a lot of talking heads and pictures that are only shown for a second.

    I always take videos like this as an occasion to dig deeper into a photographer’s work.

  5. Would love to be the fly on the wall. I do sometimes go to Nieman Marcus just to photograph some flowers in vases.

  6. Thanks Rob for featuring, that was a great project to work on. At some point I need release an extended version of the full Alberts Watson’s interview, it was the most amazing hour to film. He has a lifetime of photography knowledge and stories.

  7. You guys are on fire today!

  8. Thanks for posting this!

    Mr. Watson signed a Diana for my son and then I never gave it to him… I might go to hell, but it was AW !!

  9. His lack of ego is refreshing. Always great to hear an interview with Albert-there’s never any pretense, just straight talk from a master and a gentleman.

  10. Kudos to an amazing client for putting together a talented group of people and allowing them to do their job. Albert is truly gifted and I’ve followed him for a long time. Thank you for sharing the video.

  11. loved it!
    loved the comment about softboxes and how it’s making you lazy.
    great man, GREAT DOCO!

    • The softbox makes your work look like that of every other mediocre photographer. Meh! Try thinking without the box.

  12. Superb, inspiring and stimulating, bravo to all involved. Thanks for sharing this Rob!

  13. Absolutely brilliant. And a lesson in how to do behind the scenes in a way that enhances your experience and the quality of the shoot.

    Great team, great teamwork, great photographer.

    Thanks Rob.

  14. This video is like a punch in the gut to any photographer — in an inspiring way. I watched it last night and was going to leave a comment, but everything I wrote sounded trite (still does). Watson’s work is so accomplished it changes one’s taste buds. Kudos to the film maker too. Loved the titles and credits.

  15. Inspirational, I loved him since I was in photo school in 1985.
    And I never use softboxes.
