Edward Weston

Edward Weston began his career of photography at the young age of 16, his style being predominantly pictorial in nature. However, later in life after establishing himself a firm photography career, he renounced pictorialism in favor of straight photography, he would later become known as the "pioneer of precise and sharp presentation" with images of natural forms such as the human figure, seashells, plants, vegetables, and landscapes. His straight photography is very famous and I find it very beautiful. Perhaps I am more attracted to his later works than his earlier works.
