Critic Reviews
“"While some of his advice is common sense for pro photographers (always come prepared), Watson provides tips and insights about his approach to photographing people, fashion, studio shots and landscapes that you won't find elsewhere." - Digital Photo Pro ,”

"Story-telling and, through that, mentoring, is the first genius of this book. Every brief chapter is filled with anecdote and story. And every story is well-chosen to illuminate a point. That's the second genius. This is not a book that paints dance-steps on the floor and says step here. This is a book that fills the air with jazz. It's about motivation and determination and pluck. And yet it's all about how to dance as well." FRAMES,
"A beautifully-designed masterclass in photography brimming with anecdotes and advice from his incomparable 50-year career." - MAXIM Magazine,
"Filled with lessons large and small, as well as the master photographer's advice and stories behind the making of some of his most iconic images, the book is a great way to learn to be a better photographer from one of the best. " - Digital Photography Magazine,
"This diminutive book contains the intellectual and cerebral sides of the artist that are the ingredients to the recipe that in the end become an unforgettable image." - New York Journal of Books,
