Edward 1886 was born in a poor family near Chicago, USA. His first contact with photography was when his father gave him a Kodak camera.

He got the first camera in his life and was very excited. He went to Washington Park to take photos. When the first photo was first developed, he was shaking with excitement, but a few days later, when he calmed down, he found that the photo was not perfect enough.

From then on, he fell in love with photography, and he constantly polished his photography skills. At the beginning, Kodak camera could not meet his requirements, but his family was not rich, so he made an amazing decision to walk 10 km to school every day and bought a camera with the saved fare.

Finally, after saving enough 1 1 dollars, he got what he wanted and bought a used large-format camera with a tripod and a filter. Later, Edward left school and made a living by himself, because he loved photography so much that he didn't finish his studies. He found many jobs, but he never gave up his photography practice.

From 65438 to 0908, Edward entered the University of Illinois to study photography, and completed the annual course in six months, which was the only formal photography education in his life.

After finishing college, he came to Los Angeles and became a portrait photographer, where he fully demonstrated his amazing photographic talent.

Later, Edward opened a photography studio in the small town of Tropico, which he dubbed a "small studio". His sister asked him why he was in Tropico, not in the metropolis near Los Angeles. He replied, "I want others to know my name, which has nothing to do with where I am."

Edward's first contact with photography is called "photo photography". In the "small studio", he took many beautiful portraits with soft focus.

Soon, these exquisite and elegant works made him quickly recognized. His works were published in professional magazines such as photo-Era and American Photography, and even began to appear frequently in national photography competitions and won prizes.

Faced with these successful praises, he is not satisfied. More and more beautiful works bored him. He doesn't like mechanical imitation painting, hoping to find inspiration from new artistic expressions.

With the passage of time, he began to explore a new shooting method suitable for himself from three-dimensional art, and began to compress the space to emphasize the geometric abstract forms and details of things.

In order to better improve the art of photography, he soon came to new york, where he met famous American photographers Alfred Stiglitz, Georgia O 'Keeffe and other American artists, who gave him great help.

Later, Edward said in his diary, "The two-hour meeting was aimed at the focus of my life." Edward will also seek inspiration from painting, and he has gradually made clear his unique photography style, no longer sticking to the pursuit of aesthetic feeling, but directly bringing spiritual feelings into his creation.

In the following ten years, he successively created classic works such as Nautilus, Cabbage and Naked. His black and white works are rich in color and profound in artistic conception, which is a model of visual art in the 20th century.

There is a natural tranquility in his works, as if time had stood still, and the moment was fixed as eternity, which aroused people's admiration for the original work. The feeling of seeing his works can only be understood, but only the infinite respect for life and the deep admiration for nature.

1927- 1936 This decade is the golden age of Edward's artistic achievements. He said: "I am not looking for unusual subjects, but I want to turn ordinary subjects into unusual works."

For example, the green pepper he photographed is green pepper at first glance, but it looks like a human body when he looks closely. The dead wood he photographed looks like a bare stump at first glance, but when he looks closely, it looks like a flame.

At first glance, his nude photos are special shapes and lines, but when you look closely, they are the graceful body parts of women and the rhythm and rhythm of everything.

When shooting these human bodies and still lives, Edward's creative attitude will be extremely serious and meticulous, even if it is only a small melon and fruit, he can shoot for a week.

Exquisite sculpture light, strength and flexibility are the most striking features of his works. Light and shadow make these works shine like works of art, which contains incredible spiritual inner strength.

The famous photographer ansel adams once commented on Edward: "Edward is one of the few most creative artists in modern times. He reappeared the true colors of nature and showed the power of nature. He described the most basic harmony and unity in the world with a meaningful image. "

In his photography concept, photography is not only a technology, but also a category in the art field. He had a far-reaching influence on modern photography and even the development of contemporary photography.

In Edward's life, only photography is the most beautiful beam. He spent his whole life pursuing this beam of light, illuminating the road of photography.
