GROWING UP WESTON, IN THE PRESENCE OF WOMEN

Kim Weston's "Growing up Weston, In the Presence of Women" is a magnum opus of the photographic medium, a guidebook to the lives of the Weston family going back four generations. It's as much an in-depth history of the 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 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.

Greetings…the book is beautiful and a wonderful read! Brings back so many memories of being with you two at Wildcat and all the fun we had during workshops, including our crazy houseboat trip! The images are carefully reproduced - some of the best I have seen in a book - and Kim’s text is “pure Kim” - honest, direct and reflective. I love that you and Zach have chapters as well as do  the models, many of whom I worked with over the years.
