Ansel Adams

Although Ansel Adams did not particularly photograph people, he did use a large format camera. His work was more environmental, however, I did notice his photographs and was very inspired. (He is a environmentalist who photographs black and white landscapes) His stunning landscapes first caught my eye when I noticed the contrast of his images, it sort of makes them powerful in a way as well as also wanting to visit his locations where he shot the images - This is what I want to create in my own portraits.
