Edward Weston, born Edward Henry Weston on March 24, 1886, is renowned for changing the way that American photography developed. For a period of forty years, Weston captured some of the most unique and influential images of his generation, from portraits and landscapes to his legendary nude photographs.
Two of Weston's photographs, a 1925 nude picture and an image of a shell taken in 1927, are among the most expensive photographs ever sold.
