ansel adams was not an artist he was an photographer and most work was of nature
Ansel Adams works on Photography
Ansel Adams, born 1902. Abraham Lincoln, assassinated in 1865. I'd say not a chance.
Natural light. The vast majority of Adams' work is landscape photography.
i actually work with one of his grandkids at Synder Village nursing home in Metamora Illinois. Although she works in a different building, I still hear things about her. I only found out i work with her because i told my boss i wanted to be a photographer like ansel Adams and she told me about his granddaughter that works in the health center. I work in a different biulding so have never seen her.
Both. Ansel Adams used 8 x 10 glass plates in his field camera, but he also shot pictures with film cameras, such as a medium format Hasselblad, a Zeiss Milliflex 35 mm rangefinder, and even Polaroids.
Actually he did use the color system earlier on in his life. Mary Alinder found some of his old color negatives and she asked Ansel if she could produce them and he agreed, but after producing a couple pictures with her husband, Ansel ordered them to stop.Adams did a lot of color work. He was a consultant for Kodak and Polaroid and tested color materials for both. He also did a lot of commercial work to support himself. He was very old before his black and white fine art work began making him much money. Check out the book, Ansel Adams in Color.
Ansel Adams is primarily associated with the 20th-century art movement known as Modernism, particularly within the realm of photography. He was a key figure in the straight photography movement, which emphasized clarity, detail, and composition. His work is also closely linked to the broader environmental and conservation movements, reflecting a deep appreciation for nature. Adams' iconic black-and-white landscape photographs played a significant role in shaping the perception of American wilderness.
Many of his photos are of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and Yosemite National Park. His son is a medical doctor in Fresno, Ca and has a lot of his work up in his office. My favorite is the Valley floor covered in snow.
Perhaps it is due to the Ansel Adam's prolific application of the technique, which made him far better known. There are plenty of articles that recognize Archer as the creator and Adams and Archer as co-developers of the system. In fact, Adams repeatedly gave Archer credit for creating the system. It became what it is primarily due to the body of work created by Adams through the application of the system, not to mention the books he wrote to explain it. Adams also admitted that he should have used an editor to reduce the complexity and scientific air he brought to the subject.
Ansel Adams invented the Zone System. The Zone System allows the photographer to precisely expose the most important element in his photograph. You use a spot meter and measure every important thing in your image, bearing in mind white, black and gray objects all reflect different amounts of light but the meter thinks they're all gray--because that's what a meter is designed to do. After doing all the math, you dial in an aperture and shutter speed that will allow you to capture the scene as close to how it appears as you possibly can. This worked for Ansel Adams, and it will work for anyone who's really familiar with relative reflectance and isn't shooting something that moves or changes. You can't shoot a basketball game with the Zone System, for instance, and you can't shoot sunsets because you don't have time to meter them.
no, john adams said he wiould never have his kids work for him
