Ansel Adams

In my research I did not want to just focus on painters, I wanted to broaden out and look at other mediums.

I decided to look at Ansel Adams as he was one of the best and most revered nature photographers ever. he was passionate about nature, so much so he joined the sierra club and spent most of his life dedicated to the preservation of Yosemite. It was his passion for nature that drew me to him in the hope for inspiration.

 There is one of his pictures that I really admire and that is the waterfall. This picture shows the magnificence of nature and how powerful it can be. Seeing this picture gave me the idea of possibly filming the waterfall at Ingleton. Filming the waterfall  would fit with my theme as man often interacts with the waterfall as it is possible to climb and even walk behind it. (I have done this myself).

Another thing I like about Ansel Adams is the fact that he used his photographs to help his cause to preserve Yosemite. This is something that I hope I can do in the future. Use my work to help.
