Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams was one of the most influential photographers of the twenty first century. He developed a great number of techniques for creating and developing photos. He collaborated with many different famous artists throughout his career and played an essential part both the movement to establish photography as art and to differentiate it from other mediums.

Ansel Adams is a very important figure to me. He has inspired my photography perhaps more than any other artist. My grandfather was definitely influenced by him in his work. He was a geologist in his professional life and seemed to view the world through a similar lens as Adams.
