She left her native Italy in 1913 and emigrated to the United States, where she settled in San Francisco with her father and sister. In San Francisco, Modotti worked as a seamstress, model, and theater performer and, later, moved to Los Angeles where she worked in 3 films. 2 years later she became the student and lover of the photographer Edward Weston. In 1923, Modotti left for Mexico City with Weston and his son Chandler, leaving behind Weston\'s wife Flora and their youngest three children. She agreed to run Weston\'s studio free of charge in return for his mentoring her in photography. Together they opened a portrait studio in Mexico City. Modotti and Weston quickly gravitated toward the capital\'s bohemian scene and used their connections to create an expanding portrait business.
