As a photographer, Ansel Adams is someone I
greatly admire for the amazing work he produces. I am only just beginning to
practice landscape photography, so I felt it necessary to credit a big
influence to some of my works.
Adams works predominantly in black and
white using a variety of film cameras. A lot of his work is based in the
Yosemite National Park in USA, his choice of natural and unblemished landscapes
shows the natural beauty left in the world. We live in such an urban world and
for Adams to disregard it all and focus on the natural beauty left is
powerful.
He influenced me to take a step back from
composing series in which are controversial and made me realize that there is
beauty in other forms. I spent a few weeks away from focusing on portraiture
and documentary and focused on black and white and colour landscape images
inspired by Adams. I did not use a film camera like Adams, I stuck to my SLR
but I am now practicing with a film camera to get different effects and qualities.
I have included below some of my own images inspired by Adams.
