Edward Weston

Edward Weston was born on March 24, 1886 in Highland Park, Illinois and received his first camera, a Bull's Eye 2, from his father when he was sixteen years old. As Weston's interest grew, so did his need to get a formal photo education. Weston realized this and attended Illinois College of Photography in 1908. Merely a year later Weston Weston finished the course and moved to LA where he was employed by George Steckel Portrait Studio. During this time Weston's work was noticed highly and he won many awards. The most popular of his work would probably be his photos of vegetables.

Weston's work with veggies are my favorites of his because he allows them to have magnificent shadows including the cabbage leaf above. You can see all the tiny veins making their way through the cabbage like a highway system or something.

There are many pictures of pretty shells but I find this one to be quite unique because of the angle that it's taken. It looks like a modern spaceship and is still very beautiful. I love how on each side of the shell there is a bit of symmetry and the small detailed lines are also vary cool, I like how they aren't perfect and curve.

Out of Weston's vegetable images I really like the pepper ones. They're so abstract and remind me of actual people because of the way the peppers curve. To me it almost looks like to people hugging :)
