Albert Watson-
Albert Watson is responsible for some of the worlds most famous images that are common in everyday life. People will recognise these photo's but not know who they are from and that is the sign of a good photo. If the reader is so captivated by the image that they do not seek to find the photographer, you know the photo is art. Some examples of his work is the late Steve Jobbs, Deadmau5 and Clint Eastwood, all shown below.

All the photos above are all perfectly framed and iconic. The photo of the late Steve Jobbs was used in a lot of his tributes at the time of his death. The head-shot of Clint Eastwood is also an iconic photo that Eastwood himself uses in many of his profiles etc.
I have chosen the photo of Deadmau5 as he is the sort of model I would use for my magazine, an electro artist who has a passion for retro gaming etc. Everything that my magazine is aimed at.
