Essay on Photographer

Photographer

Photography is an art to capture the truth and reality. Ansel Adams, Rondal Partridge, Pete Turner and Alan Ross are the famous name who made the history of the photography. The fame earned by these photographers was because of their talent, knowledge, efforts and skills in photography. However, above all of others Ansel Adams is my favorite photographer. He got fame as the historical photographer because of his famous clicks in the past history. I admire the photography of the Ansel Adams because of his capability towards capturing extreme details, high quality of the pictures and the color scheme of his photographs.

Ansel Adams was the photographer who introduced himself as the best photographer of the America. His photographs are known as the Gelatin Silver Photographs. His technical skills and understandings towards the color adjustment to capture the realist high quality pictures was wonderful. Because of his talent and efforts in the photography he achieved the awards of sierra club John Muir award, Hasselblad Award and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I like photography particularly historical photography, therefore I view the photographs very critically and deeply.

In my views the photograph should have the capability to elaborate the exact situation of the time when it was taken. If a picture taken during the war cannot capture the miseries of injured military officers, or expression of power on the faces of army while attacking then the photographer cannot be considered as good photographer.

 I appreciate the work of other historical photographers also. Even, they all did well in the poor circumstance but the efforts of Ansel Adams are really astonishing. His photographs are in black and white color but still the images are clear and understandable. The sharpness and quality of the images are high that create differentiation for his work in comparison to the other photographers of his time. In my views his work is relevant to the history because he captured the historical pictures.  He also captured the pictures of the world war. In the world war he supported the country. He secretly captured the photographs of Japanese for the military. 

In 1941 he also took the photographs of the national park for the department of the interior. His photographs are placed in the museums of the United States. He also worked for the San Francisco Art institute. He is known as the historical photographer as most of his photographs are based on the historical events. He captured the important historical events that provide the view of the history of America.

The photographs taken during the war provide the exact situation of the war. However, his work is not only limited to the historical events. In fact he was a nature lover he captured a number of photographs of the nature. His famous photograph of clearing winter storm in 1937 is also placed as historical photograph in the museum for the public. As a nature lover he captured the photographs of several parks and water dams as Boulder Dam, Glacier National Park, Grand Teton National Park, Death Valley and Owens valley in California.
