"Only good photos, no rules for good photos."

? Ansel Adams

The legendary photographer ansel adams is one of the greatest photographers in the world in the 20th century. He promoted the development of world photography and influenced photographers from generation to generation. Today, the regional exposure theory he founded is still a compulsory course for all photographers and those who want to improve their photography.

? You can't just take pictures with a camera. ?

You brought all the photos you have seen to photography.

Books you have read, music you have listened to, people you have loved. ?

-ansel adams

We don't just take pictures with cameras.

What we bring to photography are the books we have read, the movies we have seen, the music we have heard and the people we have loved.

Ansel Adams

1902 On February 20th, ansel adams was born in a wealthy family in San Francisco, California. At the age of four, his nose was broken because of an accident. This mark has been with Adams all his life. A year later, his family went bankrupt and his life trajectory was broken.

Later, due to economic reasons and nose injury, his road to study was also very difficult, and he completed the eighth grade course with the help of his family and a private school.

/kloc-At the age of 0/2, Adams began to teach himself piano and music, and began to be influenced by art. At the same time, Adams became interested in the outdoors and began to travel long distances, which laid a solid foundation for Adams' later photography career.

If there is any place in the world that has the greatest influence on Adams' photography career, it is the Yosemite Mountains. 19 16 years, he got his first camera. Since then, every year he will take it there for a period of time to feel the magic and beauty of nature. It was also there that he joined the Sierra Club and met his future wife. It was also because of the Yosemite Mountains and the Sierra Club that Adams decided to enter the photography industry and began his photography career.

1927 is a crucial year in Adams' life. He made the first fully visual photo Monolith and took the first advanced trip. Moreover, Adams met his own Bole Ba 'ande. As an art investor, Ba 'ande saw the artistic value behind Adams, and gave a large sum of money to sponsor Adams' photography creation, so that Adams could make artistic creation carefree at that time.

True and effective photography is to see through the surface.

Record the quality of nature and humanity that exists or lurks in everything.

Real and effective shooting is to see the nature and humanity of everything that exists or lurks under the surface.

Ansel Adams

In the 1930s, Adams became a popular star in photography with his excellent photography ability, and he also met many insiders. Through mutual exchanges and discussions, Adams' photography skills and abilities have been further improved.

However, he became famous. Because he has been shooting landscape photography for many years, the huge economic pressure has made him breathless. He had to take some orders for commercial photography to maintain his daily expenses. This life lasted for a long time.

Adams was very upset that he could not continue his artistic creation, so when Adams thought the time was ripe, he started his artistic creation again.

? We must remember that a photo can hold as many things as it can.

No one has ever explored all the possibilities of this medium.

-ansel adams

We must remember that the value of a photographic work is the same as the value we give it.

No one will have access to all these art media.

Ansel Adams

Adams found that the lens of the camera can't respond to different light ratios as quickly as the human eye does, which will make the surface of the object either overexposed or underexposed on the photosensitive material under different lighting conditions.

This problem really troubled Adams, who always advocated the perfect presentation of the original. He and his friends in the circle tried many times, but they couldn't completely solve the problem. The uniqueness of photography cannot be perfectly displayed.

Until one time, Adams discovered a brand-new darkroom technology, which could make up for this problem in photography.

According to different lighting conditions and different presentation methods on photosensitive materials, the real state of the object can be perfectly displayed on photographic paper by increasing or decreasing the post-exposure in different areas for many times.

Adams named this method: area exposure method.

Today, the area exposure method is still an important theory that we need to learn in photography, and Adams realized the importance of the later stage of photography a hundred years ago, which is admirable.

Photography originated from painting, but it also restricted photography. But Adams finally broke through the technical bottleneck and walked out of the shackles of painting and photography.

? In addition to the world of aggressive people, there is also the world of experience.

Beyond history and beyond science. ?

The mood and quality of nature and the enlightenment of great art are equally difficult to define; ?

We can only catch them in the depths of our perceptual spirit.

Beyond history, beyond science, beyond the aggressive human world.

Nature's mood, quality and the revelation of great art are equally difficult to define; ?

Only in our keen minds can we catch them.

Ansel Adams

In addition to being a photographer, Adams is also a photographer and environmentalist, especially for the protection of the wilderness.

Adams published a large number of papers and teaching books on photography, and constantly promoted the art of photography to all corners of the world, so that many people with dreams and ambitions picked up their cameras to explore and discover the beauty and magic of this world.

It is precisely because he shot a lot of landscape works that Adams knew the importance of the environment and spared no effort to protect our environment. He constantly contributes to the editorial department of newspapers and magazines, calling on everyone to participate, protecting our environment and protecting our wilderness. The Wilderness Society interviewed Adams many times, and Adams described his beautiful vision without reservation.

? Some photographers take pictures of reality …

Impose one's thoughts and spirit on others.

Others come to reality more tenderly.

For them, photos are tools of love and inspiration.

? Some photographers demand truth ... and improve their ideological and spiritual management.

Others treat reality more gently. For them, photography is a tool of love and enlightenment.

? 1974, a retrospective exhibition was held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. In order to meet the demand for his iconic works, Adams spent most of the 1970s printing negatives.

? 1On April 22nd, 984, Adams suffered a heart attack and died at Monterey Peninsula Community Hospital in Monterey, California, at the age of 82. ?

A generation of legendary photographers have gone through a magnificent life and come to an end.

Pay tribute to the master, forever.

Myths and creeds are heroic struggles to understand the truth of the world.
