ANSEL ADAMS
Ansel Adams was an American photographer who is best known for his black and white photographs of Western America. The
category that his photographs best fall into is nature and landscape. Although not all of his photographs are landscape, they
still have a taste of it and a definite feeling of nature.
Adams uses a large format camera for his photographs so that they create extremely sharp focused images which then allow
him to blow them up to much larger sizes, also a lot of his pictures are in black and white.

                                For example, this photograph is quite a close up shot and even though it isnt a
                                landscape it still portrays and links the idea. 
                                Adams' work has many different purposes. From a commerical side of printing his
                                photographs in calendars and postcards to also selling original prints. His photography
                                also helped to open National Parks. People could see that nature was changing
                                through Adams photographs, it was becoming difficult to find nature without any man
                                made features and so National Parks were opened to protect wildlife and nature.

                                                                         One thing that Ansel Adams does with his
                                                                         photographs is that he portrays meaning and gives us
                                                                         something to think about. This is another one of
                                                                         Adams photographs. This landscape photograph also

                                                                         and relaxation. I could see this through the light
                                                                         underneath the dark sky, as though the grave yard
                                                                         and the sky had a connection of peacefulness.
