Dunes, Oceano 1936

Edward Weston's 1936 photograph "Dunes, Oceano" is a prime example of his iconic style of sharp focus and high contrast. The black and white image captures the undulating forms of sand dunes in Oceano, California, with their intricate textures and dramatic shadows. The absence of human figures emphasizes the natural beauty of the landscape, highlighting the interplay of light and shadow that creates a sense of depth and form. Weston's work in this period placed him at the forefront of the modern photography movement, inspiring generations of photographers with his focus on the beauty of everyday subjects.
