“My photographic work explores the stresses that impinge on urban life and the natural world.”
- Rusty Weston, October 2022

Take Out, from my Cerrado series in San Francisco'‘s Mission District, 2020

About Me

I've shot photos since I was a teen and had a photo published in a San Francisco newspaper before I graduated from journalism school. A content creator my entire career; in recent years, I've pursued fine art photography, embracing new ideas, techniques, and possibilities.

I often shoot at night, particularly in urban settings such as my colorful neighborhood, SF’s Mission District. I shoot documentary series, environmental-style portraits, landscapes, street life, and abstract images, and blend these styles to suit my thematic intentions.

When I think of the photographers who inspire me, I concentrate more on their perspective than on emulating their photographic style.

In 2018, I joined the Bay Area Photographers Collective, a nonprofit organization of artists dedicated to honing their craft and enhancing our community.  Feel free to shoot me a note at rusty@rustyweston.com if you’d like to discuss photography or just want to know where to get great tacos.

Prints

I sell prints directly and am happy to ship them anywhere you’d like. Image sizes vary by series, and I will accommodate your needs if possible. My documentary work is printed on Hahnemühle papers, and I also print on dye-infused metal for gallery shows or collectors. I can provide prints framed or unframed, so let’s discuss at rusty@rustyweston.com. Cheers!
