Style
His earliest images reflect his intuitive and sophisticated sense of abstraction. His style of flattening the plane was more commonly seen in Abstract Expressionists and painter David Hockney than in other photographers. Weston preferred to use high gloss papers and gelatin silver photographic materials for his work due to their clarity. He is credited by art historian Beaumont Newhall as the first photographer to make the negative space the subject of a photograph.
Weston's images are beautiful and timeless. They give a sense of place whilst being simultaneously abstract and contemplative. ...
