    Favorite Artist – Ansel Adams

    Although I enjoy photography and the art of photography, I don’t know a lot of photographic artists. I think the photographer I admire the most I Ansel Adams. I really enjoy his photography in the National Parks. Mr. Adams and I share a love of nature and a love for the national parks in particular. One of my favorites of his work is the photo of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park. I enjoy his black and white photography and his ability to capture the contrasts in his photos. I think he was famous for the tremendous depth of field in his works. Although Ansel Adams is one of my favorite photographers and I really admire his work, however, I do not think I would like to specialize in black and white photography. I think I would like to specialize in glamour portraits using ordinary people as subjects and making them glamorous through the use of lighting, etc. I also enjoy macro photography and would like to learn as much as I can about macro photography.
