Ivy and Leaves, Hawaii

Brett Weston (1911–1993) was an American photographer known for his innovative black-and-white images that explore abstraction and form in natural and urban environments. The son of photographer Edward Weston, Brett began photographing as a teenager and developed a distinctive style characterized by sharp contrasts, strong compositions, and an experimental approach to perspective and scale. His work includes landscapes, nudes, and still lifes, and he is regarded as a key figure in 20th-century American photography. Weston’s photographs have been exhibited internationally and are held in major public collections including the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
