This was an interesting next chapter to the Edward Weston Tina Modatti story for me. Thanks.
My pleasure 🙂
Thanks for that Joel, it's good to see any work by the Weston family including Cara Weston.
Thanks a lot! 😊 I’m really happy to hear you enjoy the work by the Weston family! Cheers!
Awesome !!! For years Brett Weston was my go to favorite photographer . I always loved his method of under exposing zones 2 and 3 to achieve those beautiful , rich blacks he was so well known for ...... Stunning Artist .....
Thank you so much! 😊 Brett Weston truly was an incredible artist. His technique of underexposing zones 2 and 3 to get those rich blacks is something I admire a lot too. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

That is what stood out to me about Brett’s style - he was a master at achieving those rich blacks. Great presentation.
i never appreciated Weston's work until I saw it through your curation and creation, thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏
Wonderful to see these images again, many thanks!
Thank you so much! 😊 I'm really glad you enjoyed the images. Have a great day and stay tuned for more content on my channel. Cheers!
I was oddly non-plussed w/ the set of images in the beginning of this video, they looked like snapshots, busy, poor compositions. By surprising contrast the images in the second half of the video were masterful, strong, and compelling. Thanks Joel.
Thanks for your honest feedback! 😊 I appreciate your thoughts on the differences between the images in the video. It's interesting to hear how the second half stood out more for you with its stronger compositions. Glad you enjoyed those!

I thought it interesting that as he grew older his pictures became more and more like those of his father. By the 1970s his pictures of plants were extremely similar to his father's work. Nice video display, I learned a few things here, thanks a lot for that. Regards Jake E
Thanks, Jake! 😊 It's really fascinating how Brett Weston's style evolved to resemble his father's over time. Their plant photography is particularly striking in its similarity. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and learned something new!

Thanks for watching!
I have a love/hate relationship with BW. I met him, and saw and handled many of his photographs--especially those he would bring from Hawaii. He was a genius photographer, but I very much wished to see more detail many times in his blacks. Of course, he blocked them on purpose, probably by choosing harder gradations of print paper that would condense certain print zones. The ABC pyrogallic negative developer he used was capable of huge expansion, and you could certainly use that to push your negative past a full bodied gradation. I also was able to see some of his mid 1950's printing of Edward Weston's negatives, and one might think that they would look the same as Edward's originals, especially when he developed in the same studio EW did, with the same formulas and work patterns. But, no, they do look somewhat different from the originals (especially in the lower mid and very low values--where they are more condensed). In any case, he was an interesting and friendly man with a huge presence, and certainly a consummate artist. JoelU, you produced a very fine video that does him justice. Great view!
Hi there!
Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment! 😊 It's amazing that you had the chance to meet Brett Weston and see his work up close, especially those photos from Hawaii. I agree, his use of blacks and the way he played with print gradations was unique. It's fascinating to hear about the differences in his prints compared to Edward Weston's, even when using the same techniques and studio.
Brett Weston definitely had a special way of creating art, and I'm glad to hear you found my video does him justice. Your insight adds so much value to the discussion.
Have a great day! Stay tuned for more content, and please remember to like and share with anyone who might enjoy this! 👍

@@Joel_Ulises Well, what I didn't say was I moved to Monterey to independently study with Morley and Francis Baer. Both were big friends of EW. In fact, Francis and Charis both use to drive him to Pt. Lobos (he did not drive). So, I was always surrounded by Edward's and Brett's prints. Not so much Cole's. And then I also knew Maggie Weston when she was running the Weston Gallery in town. She was also an exceptional photographer. So, those days were just heaven. And, Morley developed the same way EW did, so I learned all of the micro techniques. Anyway, thanks for the video, really, it was exceptional. And, if you ever have questions about the techniques that most of the Weston's used, just ask away. Have a good one!
