The new show draws from “The Lord of the Rings” and is the lensman’s only project where people are not the focus.
While many associate him with his fashion images, including 100-plus Vogue covers and more than 40 Rolling Stones ones, the new show is more natural. Shot on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, the images were inspired by Victorian Romanticism, Impressionist paintings and J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings.” The show will be on view through Nov. 17 in London’s Hamiltons gallery, where Watson is expected Thursday night.
Despite having no vision in one eye since the time of his birth, Watson has excelled in the visual arts. Althoughwas part of Watson’s curriculum while studying television and film at London’s Royal College of Art, he had started taking photos as a hobby in the ’70s. A Max Factor assignment led to further work, including shooting celebrities for a holiday edition of Harper’s Bazaar.
Skye magnifies his gifts for contrasts and intricate compositions. Although the photographer is known to use the human body to create formal and sculptural images, this series is his only project to date that does not feature one person. The making of the 2013 project was filmed by the BBC as part of its “What Do Artists Do All Day?” which aired the following year and is still available online.
