Label TextIce flows take on the appearance of an abstract composition through crisp focus and close cropping. Brett Weston 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.
