This is a photo Chat you don’t want to miss.  September 25, 2024, at 2 PM (Eastern)

If you have been involved in any part of photography, you certainly know of the Weston name.

This next Photo Chat will feature Kim Weston, who will discuss his new book, “Growing Up Weston, In The Presence Of Women.”  

Kim Weston’s new book, “Growing Up Weston, In the Presence of Women,” is a magnum opus of the photographic medium and a guidebook to the lives of the Weston family, which goes back four generations. It’s as much an in-depth history of Weston’s personal lives as it is an archive of artistic mastery. It is a step-by-step illustration of the Weston family’s photographic genius, narrated by Kim through his own personal viewpoint, not just about his life but about his family and those who inspired him. You will discover the rich history behind the art, revealing the inner workings that drove the creative processes.

He will also discuss the direction of his latest work and his plan to offer online portfolio reviews.
