Weston began taking photographs from the
1920s while living in Mexico with Tina
Modotti* and his father. He began showing his photographs

In the 1920s, hes photos were reflected to his intuitive
sophisticated sense of abstraction. Brett used to refer to
Edward Weston lovingly as my biggest fan and there was no
rivalry between the two photographers.
