Dody Weston Thompson:Born: 1923, New Orleans, LA, Died: 2012, Los Angeles, CA, .Photographer and photo historian Dody Weston Thompson studied at Tulane University in New Orleans (1940) and Black Mountain College in North Carolina (1941-1943). In 1947, Thompson met Edward Weston, who offered her training in photography in exchange for work as his assistant. Later that same year, Thompson opened her own portrait studio. In 1949, she met Ansel Adams who, like Weston, taught Thompson photography while she worked as his assistant. By 1950, Thompson's photographic work was exhibited and collected by numerous institutions, including the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and the Institute of Design in Chicago. In 1952, Thompson earned the Alfred M. Bender Award from the San Francisco Museum of Art.In addition to her career in photography, Thompson was a prolific author and lecturer on the history and practice of the medium. Notably, in 1952 she co-founded the photography journal Aperture, to which she frequently contributed as a writer. Throughout her lifetime, she actively worked to preserve the legacy of Edward Weston and the West Coast photographic movement of the 1950s. From 1952 until 1957, Thompson was married to Edward's son, Brett Weston.
