For many years, Brett Weston envisioned a book that would share with his audience a unique collection of previously unpublished photographs from his private archive. Brett Weston: A Personal Selection realized his longtime desire, featuring 101 brilliant images considered by Weston to be his most important unknown work. Many of the images contained in Brett Weston: A Personal Selection were created from 1980-1986, highlighting the ongoing creative genius of this West Coast master photographer still producing after sixty years of disciplined commitment to his artistry. The essay is contributed by Dody Weston Thompson, last assistant to Edward Weston, whose unique perspective gained from years working with Brett and Edward Weston results in a brilliant comparison of their essential artistic differences. Few artists have labored so ardently with the lifetime dedication and consuming passion that marked the career of Brett Weston, and fewer photographers have produced a volume of prints so uniquely visualized with the private imagination, technical brilliance and compositional purity that resounds throughout this collection of previously unknown images.

A Very Inspiring Book,

This review is from: Brett Weston, a Personal Selection (Hardcover)
I have dozens of Coffee table Photo Landscape books, from Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, to John Sexton and Peter Lik. I love the art, the technique, the locations the compositions and a thousand other aspects of Landscape photography that make it fascinating to me.
But Brett Weston has a unique eye for design that he brings to his landscape/nature images. And he captures more drama and mystery from nature than almost anyone else I know of. His images are more than mere documentation of amazing moments in time. I wouldn't take anything away from the other masters of photography, but Brett offers an alternative view that is surprising and unique.

Incredible Book to Own,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Brett Weston, a Personal Selection (Hardcover)
I have been a fan of Brett Weston's work for sometime. But this collection is by far the best of all the books I have in my library. The print quality is exceptional and the image selection impeccable. I love the deep, rich blacks of his work. For example, the cover image of the dunes at Oceano, the deep shadows between the dunes show his incredible design eye. He use the blacks as if they are a design element. I would recommend this book to any photographer.
