Edward Weston was one of the masters of 20th century photography. He's been called one of the most innovative and influential American photographers. Truly one of the icons of photography. Weston really influenced me, as I mentioned in my book, Advancing Your Photography. He had an amazing way of finding and capturing the beauty of everyday objects the rest of us might just walk by.
This film was shot by American filmmaker Willard Van Dyke, an apprentice of Weston’s, who went on to become a very notable photographer in his own right and in 1932 he co-founded Group f/64, with Imogen Cunningham, Ansel Adams, and Weston. He then went on to become a cinematographer and directed this documentary in 1948, which was produced for the United States Information Agency
This film covers Weston's philosophy about photography and his approach to the art. You'll get a rare glimpse of an artist at work and how he visualized his photographs, loved nature, didn't follow the rules, and how he used cameras to create his unique images. Join me as we step back in time, 70 years and explore the world of Edward Weston.

Weston is one of my favorite photographers, what a wonderful glimpse into his life.
Hope you enjoyed this look at an amazing photographer who has really inspired my own work. Who are some of the photographers that have inspired you? I'd love to know!
There are to many 😂 but one whose work really captivates me, a bit different than other photographers, is rather young and not well known I think. Luigi Miano
Eggleston, Christenberry, Leiter and Erwitt.
This was awesome. Thanks Mark!
Thank you, Marc! What a treat to see this!
So glad you like it! What stands out the most for you?
The filming here is very good!
What a beautiful video and plenty to learn from. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you like it too Terry. What did you learn?
Such a good timing! I was looking for some video about Edward. I got a book and he is my fav photographer! Huge inspiration!
Glad our timing was good. What is it about him that inspires you?
@@marcsilber The most cliche what I can say... but as a 3D designer, the way how Edward present the object and reveal the second identity, it's very unique. Great subject selection, magnificent exposure.. There are so many angles of his art, an infinite amount of messages behind. I wish to talk with him about sculptures and how he perceives details in each approach. I will visit Cali to see his house.
Yes, he was known for revealing "what else" the object is, going beyond the obvious. let me know when you get out here, our studio is just down the road.
@@marcsilber Jan 2020 ! I will bring some 3D recreations of Edwards work.
If I recall correctly, one of the two “fishermen” at the beginning of the film was Edward’s son Neil, who built Edward his cabin on the property they called “Wildcat Hill”.
That’s right. It’s still there u can Visit it. Follow the link in description you’ll love it.
I like the films emphasis on recording what is important to the individual photographer.
= your expression of art
Exactly!
thanks
Saludos desde México.
Weston el extraordinario Fotógrafo de ayer y de siempre..
Es verdad!
Is that Donner lake at about 7:45?
It's Tenaya Lake.
Tenaya Lake is an alpine lake in Yosemite National Park, located between Yosemite Valley and Tuolumne Meadows. The surface of Tenaya Lake has an elevation of 8,150 feet. The lake basin was formed by glacial action, which left a backdrop of light granite rocks whose beauty was known to the Native Americans. Wikipedia
Thanks for the video. Who was Edward's assistant in the movie?
not sure Bill, we'll try to find out. How'd you like it?
Advancing Your Photography I did like it. When you study the history of Mr Weston, he had lots of famous assistants. I was just curious.
Did a bit of research, and her name was Dody Weston Thompson (Dody Warren at the time of this documentary), who was his assistant at Wildcat Hill at the time. His sons were also involved in helping both as subjects on screen and with his work.
Thanks Marc. Looking forward to more great videos. It seems Dody became famous also.
that was a nice watch
YOU ARE KIDDING, RIGHT? BE
but to make money you have to please the desires of other people not yourself
Since we all happen to be the same species, and our characteristics are far less than the 8 billion of us, the work of any of us will have great commonality.
Apparently, even 4-legged species appreciate him for who he is.
So true what each of us does interacts with all life.
