Edward Weston was a highly influential photographer who changed the techniques of 20th century photography. He was known for taking pictures with high amounts of detail and his pictures were usually from the American West since he lived in California. He started his photography business in 1911 opening his studio called Little Studio in Tropico. He was also one of he founders of the group f/64 along with Willard Van Dyke and Ansel Adams.
All of his pictures have very high detail in them and precise shadings of black and white. I really like his close ups of the vegetables because you don't see that detail in them every day, your eyes just skim over that. But when it's presented in front of you, you really notice the immense detail.
