Albert Watson original platinum print of his photograph “Carmen Hawk on Cup & Saucer, New York City, 1996,” from a shoot for the Lavazza coffee company. The cup was real and massive, made from Styrofoam. Albert shot this at his old studio in the West Village in Manhattan, and the cup and saucer were so big they had to be wheeled through the garage doors. @carmen_hawk #carmenhawk @lavazzausa @lavazzaofficial #lavazza @mastersof.photography #mastersofphotography #blackandwhitephotography #platinumprint #silvergelatin
