![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Photography is a special way of seeing, the ability to imagine the world in a range of gray tones and conveys it with impeccable clarity.Īdams believed in the ‘bright image’ in 1930, when he got acquainted with Paul Strand’s negatives in Taos, New Mexico, and saw so much shine and light that he was amazed: he had no idea that the camera could capture all this. Shooting doesn’t mean pressing a button, and clicking the shutter doesn’t look like an automatic beacon flashing. The receptivity of a lens does not exceed that of a photographer. But he’s the first to claim that the lens plays a service role and is only capable of what the photographer will make him do. This brief statement sums up more than fifty years of the relentless pursuit of perfection: Adams spent his entire life experimenting to enhance the expressiveness of photography he studied the techniques, photographic processes, chemistry, and physics of photography to the finest detail he developed a ‘zone system’ of photography through which tens of thousands of people learned to look at the way the camera looks and to mentally see the end result before choosing the aperture and lens and finally, Adams always treats photography as a form of visual art.Īccording to Adams, he aims to capture a ‘simple lens reading’. A photo is not taken, it is created,” says Ansel Adams. ![]()
