Dunes at Oceano 1936

"Dunes at Oceano" (1936), by renowned American photographer Edward Weston (1886-1958), is a striking example of his signature style of sharp focus and masterful composition. The image features a sweeping, sinuous landscape of sand dunes, captured in stark black and white. Weston's use of light and shadow, along with the meticulous detail of the sand's textures, evokes a sense of both stark beauty and imposing scale, demonstrating his fascination with the natural world and its abstract forms.
