When he was a teenager, he walked 10 miles to school every day. Buy a camera in order to save every dime of the fare. At the age of sixteen, Weston finally realized his wish to learn photography with the camera given by his father. His first film was a snow scene shot in Washington Park, Chicago. When the photo was first printed, he was very happy and trembled with excitement. After a few days, my mood calmed down, only to find that the photos were not perfect: the trees were too dark, the snow was too white and there was no hierarchy. In order to pursue the ideal perfection, Weston began a long exploration in the field of photography for 46 years. It was not until 1948 got Parkinson's disease that he had to put down his camera. Weston had no special education. Between the ages of 20 and 50, I mainly rely on the income from opening a photo studio and taking business portraits to make a living. 1922, Weston went to new york once and got to know Stie Gerriets and strand, American photographers at that time. Weston wrote in his diary: "Stie Gerriets aimed at the focus of my life through a two-hour meeting with me." Since then, Weston's film art has made great progress. No matter people, scenery and guests, they can shoot their own styles and characteristics, and gradually gain the attention and praise of public opinion. 1930, he held his first solo exhibition in new york.

From 65438 to 0932, he and like-minded cinematographers such as ansel adams and W Fan Dike formed the famous "f/64 Group" in the history of American photography. (The term f/64 refers to the minimum aperture setting on the large format machine, which ensures the maximum depth of field and makes the photo clearer from the foreground to the background. )1937 5/kloc-0 Weston is an important year in his photography career. This year. He won the famous Gukingham Prize in America. From then on, Weston bid farewell to portrait photography in the photo studio and made up his mind to devote all his time and energy to the world of free creation. Weston's character. I like nature and hate cities. I like quiet and hate noise. He said, "I was not born an urban resident. In fact, Weston pulled his photography creation out of the blind imitation dead end, which opened up a new world for the continued development of photography art. Unlike some famous photographers, Weston's creation has no fixed scope. He shoots almost everything: portraits, factories, lakes and mountains, deposits on sand dunes, rocks and shells, withered old trees, and even peppers and cabbages often appear in his works. He said: "Anything, for whatever reason, as long as it excites me, I will shoot it. "I'm not looking for unusual subjects, but I want to turn ordinary subjects into unusual works. The pepper photographed by Weston looks like pepper at first glance, but it looks like a human body after careful study; At first glance, the dead wood he photographed was a bare stump, but on closer inspection, it looked like a flame. This skill of "turning stone into gold" comes from Weston's love for nature and his unique vision and aesthetic accomplishment. When Weston filmed these little things, his creative attitude was very serious. A pepper, he can shoot for a week. Even if the background is not very important, we will never take it lightly, but switch to different materials such as Boqing, tin, cardboard, wool and Swan City repeatedly for experiments. Weston often photographed the old Chinese fir trees on the laurels peninsula on the west coast of the United States. These fir trees are often photographed by Weston alone, and they are so meticulous in the use of light and the choice of angles that some fir trees look like a sculpture, while others look like a towering flame. The reason why Weston's works can give people an extraordinary feeling is related to his spiritual realm. In his life, Weston did not pursue fame and fortune. In order to spend his time and energy on photography as much as possible, he tried to simplify his life. 1902 was born in San Francisco on the west coast of the United States. When I was a teenager, I studied music and decided to become a pianist. Because of overwork and physical damage, I went to my uncle Yosemite's house for recuperation. His uncle runs a photo studio, which is why he began to express Yosemite's scenery with photography at the age of 14, and laid the foundation for his outstanding contribution to photography all his life. The partition exposure method founded by Adams is still very influential in technology today. Adams took a lot of photos of scenery and still life in his life, and proved his photography theory through these cold works. Adams' greatest contribution to photography should be the latter, and people seem more willing to talk about his works as technical evidence as a photographer.
