Kim Weston

“Any nude is a something you setup in front of the camera.”

“I think the digital camera would record that information too fast for me.”

“I don't know, the older I get, the more complicated I think I get, which is a hindrance.”

“No matter how fast I could do it with the digital camera I don't think I would get the same thing out of it. The passion I have for formulating an idea stands alone. It is the important essence of what I do.”

“Uncle Brett had a definite vision that he was after, I don't think having a famous father affected him much.”

“That's not to say that some day I won't go outside again, but I'm having a great time working on this process.”

“A lot of my work comes from my life experiences.”

“I don't think at that time I realized how important it was and how important it was for me to be here and carry on that legacy in our family of being a photographer.”

“Growing up, I didn't give my grandfather's photography a second thought. I wasn't involved in his work, except that I helped my dad print his negatives.”

“If you're not going to tell something if you're not going to expose something it's real easy to go in and photograph from behind the camera and not expose any of your weaknesses.”

“My surprises come usually once I start rolling and photographing.”

“Being a shy person, I always felt strange outside with my camera.”

“What I had to prove was that I had a dedication and a desire and a passion to do the work and everything else would fall in place because I have a vision that I want to portray and it did and I do it. I don't sell anything.”

“I felt no pressure that my grandfather was famous and my uncle was famous.”

“As an artist you have to have a certain amount of arrogance.”

“If no one wants to jump into a Kim Weston and drive it down the street. That's fine with me I don't care. I know my work is good and I know it's serious work.”

“I think all photographers fit their vision to their personality.”

“I didn't want to travel. I didn't want to leave my family. I heard all these stories from Dad about not having Edward around when he was young, and I didn't want that to happen.”

“To me, that is the essence of me as a photographer. It is those ideas, working with them, formulating them and eventually putting them down on paper, photographing them and then going on to the next step.”

“It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you're fulfilling that inner need, and for me the need is more the process than the finished product. My photographs are stories of the process.”
