More quotes by Ansel Adams
The craft of photography is the key to good images.
Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams
I know some photographs that are extraodrinary in their power and conviction, but it is difficult in photography to overcome the superficial power or subject the concept and statement must be quite convincing in themselves to win over a dramatic and compelling subject situation.
Ansel Adams
In a strict sense photography can never be abstract, for the camera is incapable of synthetic integration.
Ansel Adams
The [35mm] camera is for life and for people, the swift and intense moments of life.
Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams
The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it!
Ansel Adams
If what I see in my mind excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph.
Ansel Adams
The ‘machine-gun’ approach to photography – by which many negatives are made with the hope that one will be good – is fatal to serious results.
Ansel Adams
Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.
Ansel Adams
Photography and photographers have an inevitable development. They progress more or less by steps. Every five or ten years some new point of view is developed and young people are inclined to follow it.
Ansel Adams
We must remember that a photograph can hold just as much as we put into it, and no one has ever approached the full possibilities of the medium.
Ansel Adams
It is just as important to bring people the evidence of the beauty of the world of nature and of man as it is to give them a document of ugliness, squalor, and despair.
Ansel Adams
