Artist Report
Ansel Adams
What type of photography is it?
Landscape
What is the intent of the photograph?
Ansel Adams loved nature and spent most of his time until his death in Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada
Does it convey a message about advertising, a product, an emotion… Adams loved nature and climbed the valley of Yosemite each day. He joined a club and stayed in Yosemite valley for a while. He loves his surroundings and took pictures of it.
What emphasis is the photograph?
Black and white, texture
What part of the photo do you look at first? Does your eye move around the photo?
I look at the tree first because its unusual for me to see a tree bent that way. My eye does move around the because it starts with the tree and goes down the branch to the rocks and through the sky.
What emotional impact does the photo invoke?
Intrigue
Try to find out what kind of camera each artist and give a little information about any technique that stands out.
He began using the Kodak No. 1 Box Brownie his parents had given him and then used Large format.
What kind of film is used?
Black and white
My three other favorite artists are Helen Levitt, Roger Fenton, and Lewis Hine.
