Ben Watts (brother of Naomi Watts) is famous in his own right as an incredible photographer.
Ben (born in London) is a photographer who lives and works in New York. His work has been seen in various international fashion magazines, such as Elle, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Vanity Fair and Condé Nast Traveller.
Watts studied at the Sydney College of Arts in Australia, where he started his photographic career as an assistant photographer. He first came to New York in 1990, where he started documenting urban youth and was especially fascinated by American Hip Hop culture. He finally moved to New York in 1995. Besides his work for fashion magazines, Watts has shot advertising campaigns for famous labels, such as Nike, Polo Ralph Lauren, Kodak, Gap, Sony Music and Apple Computers.
Though Ben has worked with some of the top names in print and advertising, it was his book Big Up that caught my attention.
There’s a preview of the Big Up book images here.
