Edward Weston was born in Illinois on March 24, 1886. He enrolled for college at the Illinois College of Photography, where there was a 9 month photography course. He finished all of the work in 6 months, and the school wouldn't let him get a diploma because he refused to pay for 9 months of schooling. He then moved to California and worked at a small photography studio before moving on to a larger studio with Louis Mojonier. Weston opened his own business in 1910. His business gradually grew and soon people were coming from all over to see his work.
Edward Weston has a unique style of photography. His pictures are in black and white, and he uses unique perspectives and angles to transform ordinary, everyday objects into pieces of art that people stop and look at to question. He has produced a large quantity of portraits and still life pictures, and each one is so different that someone could never get tired of looking at them; it seems that each time you study one of his pictures you find something new that you haven't seen before.
