Ansel Adams

In Art, we had to make a blog post about the work of a photographer. We have to select 1-2 works from them and to write a written detail/ critique about the photo. The artist that I've chosen is 'Ansel Adams'.

 

This photography is called 'The Tetons and the Snake River'. This is created by Ansel Adams which was known for his black & white landscape photographs of the American West and the Yosemite National Park. Adam wasn't only a photographer but he was also an environmentalist. At the age of 17, he joined the Sierra Club. A group that protects the wild places in the earth. He was also one of the founders of the Group f/64 who shares common photographic style.



What I like about this photo is the contrast of lighting. What I also like about the black and white effect, is that it helps you to see the different perspective from what you are used to seeing. If I were to recreate this photo, I would do more editing to make it eye-catching.
