Weston, Cara (landscape) Cara Weston was born and raised in Carmel, California, the daughter of photographer Cole Weston and Helen Prosser Weston and granddaughter to the world-renowned photographer Edward Weston and Flora Chandler Weston.She has lived in a world of photography all her life. In the 1970s she worked for and with her father Cole Weston, and with her uncle, Brett Weston as an assistant, and modeled for his underwater photography. Cara also spent a short time assisting black and white photographer Rod Dresser before taking on a position at the Weston Gallery. It was initially difficult for Cara to photograph with the Weston name overshadowing her efforts, and as the only girl in a family that sometimes felt like a boy's club, but Cara eventually found her desire to capture images was stronger then worrying about living up to the family name. She photographs for herself now, and feels free to follow her own passion and way of seeing. Although she initially photographed using only black and white film, she has broken with family tradition and has embraced digital photography. |
