He has photographed for virtually every major magazine, has 16 books to his credit, and his work has been exhibited in over 60 galleries and museums. Weber is equally acclaimed for his filmmaking and has produced seven short and feature length movies, two of which won Best Documentary awards from the International Documentary Association. Lets Get Lost was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Feature Documentary. Weber has directed music videos for Chris Isaak and the Pet Shop Boys, the latter winning Music Weeks Video of the Year.
