Ansel Adams artists research  

Ansel Adams is a photographer well known for his dramatic landscapes and harsh contrasts. Adams works mainly with large format cameras to create grade prints. Adams changed the outlook people had on landscape photography. He transformed sublime landscapes into objects of fear. Just by looking at Adams photographs changes the audiences point of view. The use of black and white in his images is really effective this is because, it creates a harsh contrast between the element in the image. Adams first came to fame after his photographs of the Yosemite National Parkin west America. This location was perfect for the style of photography Adams wanted to capture. The park is filled with dramatic mountain ranges, rolling hills and harsh drops ideal for the type of work Adams creates. Ansel Adams is relevant to my environment unit because, his style of working includes vase areas of environment. He brings his surrounding to life with his landscapes and is an iconic figure in the history of photography. To respond to this piece of research on Ansel Adams I am going to photograph landscapes in the style of his work. To do this I am going to go out and photograph unknown landscapes and try and create similar dramatic images in the style of the iconic Ansel Adams.
