description: "Edward Henry Weston was an American photographer. He has been called \"one of the most innovative and influential American photographers\" and \"one of the masters of 20th century photography.\" Over the course of his 40-year career Weston photographed an increasingly expansive set of subjects, including landscapes, still lifes, nudes, portraits, genre scenes, and even whimsical parodies. It is said that he developed a \n\"quintessentially American, and especially Californian, approach to modern photography\" because of his focus on the people and places of the American West. In 1937 Weston was the first photographer to receive a Guggenheim Fellowship, and over the next two years he produced nearly 1,400 negatives using his 8 × 10 view camera. Some of his most famous \nphotographs were taken of the trees and rocks at Point Lobos, California, near where he lived for many years."
