Label TextBrett Weston’s use of sharp focus emphasized shape and the interplay of light and shadow of the materials he captured on camera, creating a depiction of the natural world that appears nearly abstract. These qualities align his work with modernist photography, a style that privileges such formal qualities in a photographic image.
