The person who has influenced my work probably the most would be the photographer named Ansel Adams.
His images are basically stunning. In a world where anyone can take a picture in black and white and dispose of it in a second, Adams has made a lifetime's worth of photos, each and every one of them worthy of being framed and put on display.
He lived in a world where if you were going to become a photographer, it was not a hobby, it had to somehow bring in cash because the equipment and the trips to these places were just too expensive. He ditched his career as a pianist and began photographing as a main job. He was also one of the major figureheads to influence the american government to preserve the natural scenes of Yosemite and parts all around California.
While a lot of black and white images can be considered "old" and "traditional", I'm sure everyone can agree that his images can and will last a lifetime. He will always be considered one of the strongest landscape photographer this world has ever seen and I hope I can even just copy a bit of his beautiful style.
Go look his images up on google. I don't want to break any image sharing law, and even if I don't, I wouldn't want Adams' images to be shared illegally, as I hope to purchase a replica in the future.
But I will share my favourite photo of his
Simply Amazing.
