Ansel Adams

There are many many famous photographers in the world but one whose photos' caught my eye was Ansel Adams. He was a famous photographer spanning from the 1920's to the 1960's. He primarily worked with black and white photos because he claimed he could get “a far greater sense of ‘color’ through a well-planned and executed black-and-white image than [he had] ever achieved with color photography”. he was famous for taking landscape pictures of the American West and being an environmentalist. He invented the Zone system with Fred Archer, a photographic technique for finding the optimal film exposure and development. he also founded group f/64 which was a group of photographers that shared a certain style of crisp, sharp-focused photos of mainly Western landscapes int he U.S. Ansel Adams was an amazing photographer who was known for the depth and clarity in his photos. I found his photos beautiful and very inspiring because they show how moving and beautiful a black and white photo can be. 

here are some of his photos for your enjoyment :)
