(SANTA ANA, CA) – Inspired by the glamourous window displays of Orange County’s Fashion Island and South Coast Plaza shopping centers, photographer Kurt Weston brings his vibrant and reimagined fashion portraits to the Thomas F. Riley Terminal in a new exhibit as part of the John Wayne Airport Community Focus Space through June 17, 2021.
Weston was once a glamour photographer who traveled to Europe with professional makeup artists and hairstylists, transforming models to create the ultimate in style and beauty. His life changed in 1996, when Weston became legally blind from Uveitis, leaving him completely blind in his left eye and with limited peripheral vision – no central vision in his right eye – which permits him to see the world as it appears in an impressionist painting.
