Pure art photographer

Ansel adams was born in 1902 in San Francisco on the west coast of the United States. When I was a teenager, I studied music and decided to become a pianist. Because of overwork and physical damage, I went to my uncle Yosemite's house for recuperation. His uncle runs a photo studio, which is why he began to express Yosemite's scenery with photography at the age of 14, and laid the foundation for his outstanding contribution to photography all his life.

Later, during his long photography career, he always had a special feeling for Yosemite and came here to take pictures every year. Adams has a great feeling of "never getting tired of watching and shooting" about Yosemite.

Adams' achievements in photography were greatly influenced by his predecessor Stent and Stie Gerriets, a representative of pure photography. He first studied under Weston, and then became close friends with Weston. Influenced by Weston's ideological style, 1932 set up a photography group named "F/64 Group". "F64" was the smallest aperture on the camera at that time, and the name of this organization was the declaration of their artistic ideas. In other words, they advocate using a small aperture to obtain a long depth of field and excellent clarity. So Adams belongs to the "pure photography school". His works deserve to be listed among the typical and best masterpieces of pure photography.

Adams uses "pure" photography art to express the real and beautiful world, arousing photographers' attention to the performance characteristics and great potential of pure photography art. Adams believes that photographers, like other artists, choose their own unique things and fields to express the world and themselves. This is how he regulates his creative activities. In his photography activities for more than 60 years, he has always been famous for his landscape photography. It can be said that each of Adams' works has its own style and characteristics. His landscape photos have a great feature, that is, there are no characters on the screen, no connection with society and history, and no news elements, but the beauty expressed in his works is beyond people's general feelings. He has been obsessed with Yosemite since his youth, and the scenery here is an inexhaustible source of his creation. More interestingly, Adams' poetic landscape photography of Yosemite not only attracted millions of tourists here, but also earned Adams the reputation of "Yosemite Master" and enabled the US Congress to pass the National Park Law on 19 16, opening Yosemite as a national park. Adams is proud that photography has played such a remarkable social function. For decades, Adams climbed the King's Canyon in eastern California with heavy photographic equipment on his back, which made nature look particularly profound and charming. The "regional exposure method" advocated by him is also to get the best quality of the works, thus showing the beauty of the scenery.

Adams is also a photographer and photographer. During the twenty years from 1960 to 1979, he published fifteen books. 65438-0943 entered new york Art Museum as the director of photography department. 1946 returned to his hometown of San Francisco and taught photography at the State Academy of Fine Arts. Adams kept writing and creating until he was 80 years old, and his art was amazing. 1984 February, the old photographer died.
