Photography legend David Bailey was among well-known figures at the private view of photographer Albert Watson?s exhibition in central London last night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Masters of Photography: A Journey features Albert Watson?s images from an assignment to northern Spain where the timber used in the oak casks for Macallan whisky originates.<\/p>\n

The exhibition resulting from the Macallan\/Watson tie-up is set to go on a world tour, though Watson, who lives in New York, won?t be at all the private views, he told Amateur Photographer<\/em> last night.<\/p>\n

Watson told us he recorded images<\/a> for the project using a Hasselblad camera with a 65-million-pixel digital back.<\/p>\n

Thirty-six individually customised bottles of The Macallan dating from 1946, the year Albert Watson met his wife (they met at nursery school), were produced for the project.<\/p>\n

Each bottle is paired with a signed, one-off, specially commissioned Watson platinum print and will be sold at a reserve price of \u00a310,000.<\/p>\n

Speaking earlier this year Watson said: ‘The freedom and encouragement given to me during this shoot allowed the creation of a series of images expanding on this journey, and finally platinum exhibition prints ? the ultimate in fine art ? demanding complete artistic integrity.’ <\/p>\n

A limited collection of 1,000 bottles of The Macallan Sherry Oak 20-year-old whisky, costing \u00a3700, went on sale yesterday. Each comes with a set of ten portfolio prints. <\/p>\n

Watson, who is regarded as one of the most successful fashion, commercial and art photographers was presented with the Centenary Medal by the Royal Photographic Society earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Also at last night’s private view were Bianca Jagger and Mary McCartney.<\/p>\n

Masters of Photography: A Journey takes place at Phillips de Pury auctioneers, Howick Place, London SW1P 1BB.<\/p>\n
