Report on historical photographer Ansel Adams

My first historical figure I'm going to write about is Ansel Easton Adams. Anybody that's ever done photography knows of his existence. His brilliant photographs of landscapes mixed with his amazing skill of working with contrast using creative darkroom work made his photos absolutely spectacular. In my opinion I loved his landscape work the most. The way he manages to create a scene in a photo in which having just black and white showing more raw emotion that colour ever could is incredible. Even though a lot of his photographs are shot very long distance, the detail in it manages to stay crisp and clear and not lose focus. As he ages their was no loss in quality either. Every photograph he took was very well done and never declined in quality. Using contrast in a black and white photo is a brilliant idea and I certainly hope to try this in my own work at some point
