Weston's biography and greatest works assignment
Weston first taking pictures after his father gave him his first camera
which was a bulls eye kodak on his 16th birthday as a gift and after
that Weston began taking photographs of everything he could find
including pictures of his aunt's farm. In his young age Weston used to
imitate paintings. But he was dissatisfied with his work so he switched
to realism and his photography produced true to life, unpretentious
images. Deciding to pursue his photographic career he traveled to
Mexico, where he opened a photographic studio with his lover, Tina
Modotti. During this time, Weston took a number of portraits and nudes
for which he's known even today. Several Mexican artists of the time,
including Diego Rivera, David Siqueiro began to admire his work. He also
specialized in close ups and landscapes of shells and rocks. Weston was
considered one of the most innovative and influential American
photographers and one of the masters of 20th century photography. He was
also the first photographer to receive the Guggenheim Fellowship award.
His work was greatly admired because he could capture the form and
structure and show you the picture in another way. Most of Weston's
pictures are black and white. Weston took his last picture in Point
Lobos after that Weston was diagnosed of Parkinson's disease and died
after 10 years and during the 10 years, he published many of his pictures. His
pictures in Point Lobos consisted mainly of trees and rocks. Some of
Weston's greatest works are Natalius and Pepper no 30. here are some of his
works-

Sequence
This is a sequence picture meaning it shows some kind of process. The process shown here is of a girl first crouching and beginning to run. The second picture shows of that same girl running and the third picture shows of that same girl winning the run and raising her hands up like a winner and when I edited this picture, i saturated it and added contrast in it and i also cropped the third picture to cut the lower part of the torso of the girl and so that it would focus more on the face of the little girl.
Diptych
This is a diptych picture. This
picture is a diptych picture because it has the same theme and message.
The idea of this picture is patriotism because on the first picture it has the idea of patriotism because
it shows a flag. I chose the flag to reflect patriotism because i think
that a flag symbolizes what many people die for. In the second picture,
you see a man wearing a soldier's uniform and saluting like a soldier
does to a captain. That soldier shows that he is willing to fight for
his country which in turn shows patriotism and his love for his country. when I edited this picture, I saturated it and cropped the back round a bit and I zoomed the picture to make the content the center of the image
