Edward Weston


1.Edward Weston was an American photographer. He used an 8 by 10 inch camera lens for most of his work. Some of his work is worth up to $1.6 million, according to an article written in the New York Post in April 2008.

2. Day books he kept regularly from the mid-1920s to 1934, which give viewers a glimpse into his personal life, his views on photography, and his working methods. He has been recognized as one of the best photographers of the 20th century.






He was born February 20, 1902 to Charles and Olive Adams in upper class scotland. Ansel had no siblings. they moved to america later in 1902. 

Ansel had a photographic memory, so this helped him a

 lot when he was taking a picture to visualize what he was doing. it helped him take all of his beautiful photographs. He liked to photograph nature more than anything else, and you will rarely see a picture of his that isn't of nature.
