Albert Watson studied graphic design before becoming a photographer. His manipulation of contrast and superior sense of composition distinguish his portraits of celebrities and models. With an emphasis on the formal and sculptural properties of his sitters' bodies, Watson's images have not only appeared in numerous American and European fashion magazines but also in museum and gallery exhibitions.
In Watson’s famous nude photographs of Kate Moss taken on her 18th birthday in 1993, the model's spine pokes through the skin of her curved back, like the scales of a dinosaur, while the right side of her body is entirely shaded. In a 1989 portrait, Naomi Campbell's head is silhouetted against a grey surface, while her bare shoulders and the arch of her back are illuminated. In 2010, he was awarded the Royal Photographic Society's Centenary Medal and Honorary Fellowship.

Helena Christensen III, Safer Sex, Limited Edition Print, Black and White, 1993
By Michel Comte
Located in Vienna, AT
“Helena Christensen III, Safer Sex Campaign for Playboy, 1993” by Michel Comte captures one of the most iconic moments of 1990s fashion photography, combining sensuality, elegance, and the visual language of high-end editorial imagery. Shot during the celebrated Playboy “Safer Sex” campaign, the photograph features Danish supermodel Helena Christensen at the height of the supermodel era—an image that reflects both the glamour and cultural shifts of the early 1990s. Michel Comte, renowned for his striking black-and-white portraiture and work with leading fashion magazines and luxury brands, approaches the nude figure with sculptural precision. Soft lighting and a minimalist studio background emphasize Christensen’s graceful pose and natural beauty, creating a timeless composition that sits at the intersection of fashion photography, fine art nude, and iconic celebrity portraiture. The image embodies the refined aesthetic that made Comte one of the most sought-after photographers of his generation. Highly collectible and increasingly difficult to acquire, “Helena Christensen III, Safer Sex Campaign for Playboy, 1993” represents a significant piece of 1990s fashion photography history. With editions nearly sold out, this work appeals to collectors interested in supermodel imagery, Playboy photography...
