Ansel Adams
Ansel Adams was an American Photographer who specialised in landscape photography particularly in the American West. His visually stunning, high pixel photography of settings such as Yosemite National Park, have been widely used by organisations including National Geographic. Adams' photography is particularly special due to many of the images being shot as early as 1927.
Most of Adams' photos were created by using a large-format camera as this enable Adams to achieve a high resolution and sharpness to his images. Moreover with the help of fellow photographer Fred Archer, the 'Zone System' was developed. This allowed people to determine the proper exposure and adjusting the contrast on the final print, meaning a better end result.
black and white photos give a crisp and original feel to his pieces making them visually attractive for the time. Also the contrast of the lighter and darker colours present make certain aspects stand out such as the peaks of the mountains and the natural light on the river.
