Edward Weston

Weston had been a skilful and successful photographer for more than a decade when in the early twenties his own unique vision began to reveal itself. By 1930, when he was forty-five, he had produced a body of work that would come to identify him as a major artist, a man whose work has changed our perception of what the world and life are like.


Weston captured images of natural studies and images of nudity as they have an interesting shape to them. After shooting my images of Megan and David and speaking with my tutor I found my images to have an imspiration of Edward Weston within them so decided to look into his work more and use his images of natural studies and the form of the body as inspiration when capturing my next set of images in the studio. 


In a previous brief I used the large format camera and still have some film left over so I thought I would try and used film when capturing in the studio again as an alternative form of capturing the dancers. As my work is n black and white it could add the effect.
