She left her native Italy in 1913 and emigrated to the United States, where she settled in San Francisco with her father and sister. Modotti worked as a seamstress, and theater performer and, later, moved to Los Angeles where she acted in 3 films. She later became a photographer and essayist. In 1923 she moved to Mexico with her lover and menor Edward Weston, and later became an active member of the Mexican Communist Party. She lived in 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 and quickly gravitated toward the capital's bohemian scene and used their connections to create an expanding portrait business.
