Dear Shaded Viewers,
Last night I had the privilege of attending the 'Albert Watson Exposed' opening at acte2galerie in Paris. The exhibit, composed of an exclusive collection of nude photographs, marks Watson's second installment here (his first was in 2007).

Over the past four decades, the commercial and fashion photographer has captured a wide audience through his unique use of lighting and fetish driven images. Watson has landed over 250 Vogue covers worldwide and ad campaigns for the likes of the Gap, Prada, Chanel and Revlon.

The exhibit boasts 30 beautifully lit photographs of models like Kate Moss, Rachel Williams and Laetitia Casta, showcasing Watson's strikingly raw and vulnerable signature style. His paired down subjects, exposed in the flesh, evoke layers of sensuality.
