ANSEL ADAMS

Inspiring Photographers

A photographer that I found who inspired me was Ansel Adams. The reason why I found Ansel Adams to be an inspiring photographer is because while reading a bibliography about him I found that he enjoyed nature when he was young and that showed in his pictures as most of them were pictures of nature and or animals. I was surprised that even though a lot of his photos or even all of his photos were based off of nature, not one of his photos was really like another. Being able to take one topic and bring so many different pictures that portray so many different emotions and styles is what makes me admire him the most. When he wasn't taking photos of nature he would take photos of people but not just pictures of people with bland faces or staged faces, he would take photos of people with natural looks and make sure that a certain mood or emotion is being portrayed and that a viewer can easily tell what that mood is without having to think too hard, and even though they are easy to dissect it can also be seen that a lot of work went into the photos as well.
