I’m thrilled about this episode featuring a conversation with fine art photographer Kim Weston. Kim has been a personal inspiration since I had the opportunity to first meet him at one of his workshops nearly 6 years ago. I’ve since attended additional workshops of his, and have grown a great deal (both personally and professionally) as a direct result of Kim’s teachings and influence.

Kim has been a fine art photographer for over 30 years specializing in large format photography and the human figure, and is a third-generation member of one of the most important and creative families in the history of fine art photography (Kim learned his craft alongside his Father Cole and his Uncle Brett, and assisted in the darkroom making gallery prints from his Grandfather Edward’s original negatives).
Famous last name aside, Kim has created a very important and valuable body of work over the years, and as you’ll learn in this episode, he is continually evolving and growing as a visual artist. Perhaps most inspiring about Kim is his genuine artful life. Kim has said that his life is his art, and this is clearly evident in his thoughtfulness, his lifestyle and the unique ways in which he sees and experiences the world around him. Kim and his wonderful wife Gina generously share their passion, energy and artistic vision with workshop participants throughout the year. In addition, they run a unique scholarship program in the spirit of celebrating the roots of photographic history and keeping the traditional process of the black and white photographic medium alive.

Kim and I address many topics in our conversation, with a great deal of discussion about the complete process of photography, and the nuances of living an artful life. Also evident throughout our conversation is Kim’s passion and commitment to his family, along with his genuine interest in maintaining the value and integrity of fine art photography, and giving back to the community through continual teaching and workshops.
I am honored to have Kim as a guest, and I encourage all of you to visit his website and follow along on his journey through his blog. You can also find links to Kim and Gina’s scholarship, workshops and other events on his website.
