Before becoming a photographer, Bertie Watson spent nearly three decades immersed in the performing arts as a professional opera singer. Surrounded by actors, dancers, and fellow musicians, he understands the rhythm, vulnerability, and artistry of being in the spotlight, allowing him to connect instinctively with the people he photographs.

With a relaxed, personal approach, he draws out unguarded, authentic moments; then frames them with the elevated, editorial finesse that defines his style. The result is work that feels as timeless as it is current; as intimate as it is cinematic.

His images have appeared in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, GQ and across campaigns for the world’s leading fashion houses, jewellery brands, and film studios. Bertie’s portrait work has captured Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, Mark Ruffalo, Sylvester Stallone, Jessica Chastain, Kevin Costner, and many more.

His clients include leading fashion houses such as Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Giorgio Armani; luxury jewellery and watch brands including Chopard, Jaeger-LeCoultre and Hublot; and global entertainment names like Apple TV+, Searchlight Pictures, Paramount+ and BAFTA.
