Brett Weston
Brett Weston’s photographs are also all black and white. Brett has 14 different portfolios and has had four exhibitions. Weston was born in 1911 in Los Angeles. His father was also a photographer, so it obviously runs in the family! At the age of thirteen his dad pulled him out of school and took him to Mexico and made him his apprentice. He died in 1993 in Hawaii. It does not say on the website, but I am quite sure that Weston used film camera’s to shoot his work.

This photo is awesome; it doesn’t look like real scenery at all! When I first saw this photo I thought, ‘what is that’?! And I believe if you ask that question when viewing a photo, it is most definitely abstract. The black lines look like shapes that have just been painted on. The light in the photo looks natural, but I think it may have been altered slightly to make it a bit brighter because the water is not transparent, so the sun is obviously reflecting off it. The picture looks quite soft. I do really like this photo, it’s very cool. As I said before, it looks like a painting or a drawing.
