Analysis Of Ansel Adams And John Davies

Ansel Adams was a photographer who was also an environmentalist who specialised in fully focused photos. Ansel Adams is one of the most respected and well known photographers in the world, known for his breathtaking land scape photos of the west of America, like the Utah mountains ect. Throughout his long 70 year old career he made a lot of work. He had over 500 gallery shows in his time which is amazing! His style included sharp and even focus, extensive tonal range, clarity of detail, straight or pure photography, close-up images or expansive sweeping landscapes and majestic, heroic images, full of national pride. His themes and interests in art and photography is the earth and all its features. He focussed the whole photo which I think is amazing because the detail is amazing and it’s all amazing because its black and white as well. It has greys which is good but everyone of his photos but he always has a true black and true white. The quality of light in

Their individual perspectives in life ultimately shaped their education, experiences and overall point of view. This essay will outline the similarities and differences in subject matter, tone and imagery of these two artists’ bodies of work.

The reader is able to construct his or her thoughts by observing the small keys in each photo. Some of these keys are the use of color, setting, expression and focus in the scenery and objects around.

The illustration in #7.16, Trestle Work, Promontory Point, Salt Lake Valley by Andrew J.Russell is an image of a railroad track connecting two paths with men working on the site. Russell believed that the west was a great location to conduct his work because of the openness and freedom that was out there. Also to observe the natural scenery that it has to offer, which many have traveled to obtain such freedom and visual aspects of nature. As for #7.17, El Eaches or Three Brothers by Carleton E. Watkins is a description of a landscape winter forest by a lake, his purpose for this image was to capture the viewer's attention with the richness and the detail of the forest. For an individual to absorb the composition of the mountains in the picture

From a young age he showed uncommon interest in wilderness and the outdoors and grew into one of the personalities most responsible for defining what American wilderness means. In his twenties, Ansel demonstrated incredible mastery of the young art form of photography. Through his friendships and collaboration with other artists and environmentalists and through his many prestigious art shows and published collections he gained fame. He used his fame, strong personal voice and persuasive activism for environmental conservation causes such as ... and for environmental organizations such as the Sierra Club and the Wilderness Society. In particular, Ansel Adams was inspired and captivated by Yosemite at a young age and found the mountains to be his calling. His passion to preserve the park he experienced as a young boy fueled his efforts.

Ansel Adams was an Environmental activist and a photographer who is especially known for his photographs of Yosemite National Park. He was born in San Francisco, California on February 20, 1902. After his first trip to Yosemite, the wilderness and all of its beauty immediately moved him. He always wanted to take pictures that looked like so much more, to make people feel something more. He just wanted to be part of something larger and show what he felt when he saw the gorgeous world. “He helped transform the meaning of wilderness in America” (WQED).

In this painting we see an infant that is in a boat. Behind the infant there is an angel that is guiding the child out of a cave into a beautiful landscape. Thomas Cole paints the landscape very rich; you get o a sense of warmth and calmness. There is beautiful green land, big mountains, and different types of flowers.

This group embodies the concepts of Ansel Adams, and this is what was so distinctive about his work. The realization of photographic vision through technically flawless prints was an approach that Ansel took in photography. But this did not stop experimentation that led him to the use of several large-formats and miniature cameras. to shed some light on the work of Adams, I should point out that he was deeply effected by the nature, especially by the Yosemite valley, and the four hundred mile long mountain range, called Sierra Nevada, where he kept coming back every summer, where he practiced climbing or just took long trips in which a great deal of photography was involved. During these summers, he developed an interest in conservation and was dedicated to record the splendid beauty of these valleys and mountain ranges. So the prominent factor in Ansel’s work was his love of nature, and the

Ansel Adams, an American photographer, was born in San Francisco, California on February 20, 1902 to Olive Bray and Charles Hitchcock Adams and was named after his uncle Ansel Easton. His family was of Irish descent and immigrated to New England in the early eighteenth century. Olive and Charles would later move to California and give birth to their only son. His grandfather ran a very successful lumber business which would eventually be left to Ansel’s father, Charles. Growing up seeing firsthand the effects of the lumber clear-cutting industry would later lead to his condemnation of the practice and open the door for a career in environmentalism.

For fun, Harry played golf regularly and he played it well. What he liked about golf was the challenge it had while in the game. By 1938, Harry stopped playing golf and began to pursue photography. At the time he had bought his very first camera, he didn’t know much about photography and taking pictures. Later on it would be the famous photographer, Ansel Adams, who would pave the way for Harry’s amazing photographs. It was when Ansel Adams came to Detroit for a workshop, all of his photographs and the passion they portrayed caught

Adams felt a sense of duty to share his knowledge of nature and photography. “…[Adams] was master teacher as well as a master photographer” (Schaefer, 1992). He wrote many books and taught students his art. Adams technical ability in the darkroom was magical. He set the standard for black and white printing. His discriminating taste and meticulously produced prints continue to amaze current generations twenty-five years after his death. Adams was an experimenter and a modernist with his camera.

The first artist is Leonardo, called Leo in TMNT. The characteristics are not horribly paired, but they do not quite match up perfectly. Leonardo the creative/painter/sculptor/inventor/ architect/absolute genius does not quite fit into the leader/tactical/listening persona. Leonardo da Vinci had a workbook packed full of ideas which was written mirror image and backwards, because he was left-handed. Leonardo invented many things we still use today such as the tank, in a way the helicopter, and the parachute. On the other hand, Leo is a leader definitely not the inventor of the group, yet he is intellectual and strong like his artist counterpart. The character traits of the two Leonardos do not match up because one is an inventor whereas the other is more of a leader. Leonardo’s character should have been that of Donatello, because Donatello is the inventor/smarty of the group just like Leonardo da Vinci.

His uncompromising eye for detail made Brandt one of Britain's most influential and internationally admired photographers of the 20th century. Through

Adam Ansel is very famous for his black and white landscape pictures. His black and white landscape is usually located in famous museums. He did not use any technology to create his landscapes he only used his eyes and the passion to create the landscapes. Technology that were used to wasn't invented when he was around, so he made the best of what he had, and that was his passion for painting.

     Marlin Adams pictures are basic and don’t really shoe any emotion or movement. I do not like pictures of normal people or vegetables because it is dull and boring. One of his paintings is of a white girl maybe 10 to 12 years old with no nature background. She has long hair and a burgundy dress on. The painting is from the chest and up and shows some light shadowing. Another on of Adams painting is of a bowl with two yellow onions, one red onion, and one piece of garlic. The bowl is on a table and the picture itself is somewhat small.
