More quotes by Ansel Adams
A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels...
Ansel Adams
It is all very beautiful and magical here - a quality which cannot be described. You have to live it and breathe it, let the sun bake into you.
Ansel Adams
The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it!
Ansel Adams
There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.
Ansel Adams
To photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surfaces.
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
All art is the expression of one and the same thing- the relation of the spirit of man to the spirit of other men and to the world.
Ansel Adams
Art is both the taking and giving of beauty, the turning out to the light of the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit.
Ansel Adams
You don't take a picture, you make a picture.
Ansel Adams
There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.
Ansel Adams
A good photograph is knowing where to stand.
Ansel Adams
Let us leave a splendid legacy for our children...let us turn to them and say, this you inherit: guard it well, for it is far more precious than money...and once destroyed, nature's beauty cannot be repurchased at any price.
Ansel Adams
Both the grand and the intimate aspects of nature can be revealed in the expressive photograph. Both can stir enduring affirmations and discoveries, and can surely help the spectator in his search for identification with the vast world of natural beauty and wonder surrounding him.
Ansel Adams
The piano has eighty-eight keys, and you have to be able to play all of them. And the range of white to black is analogous to the eighty-eight keys and you have to be able to play all eighty-eight keys in that palette from white to black.
Ansel Adams
The artist and the photographer seek the mysteries and the adventure of experience in nature.
Ansel Adams
As the fisherman depends upon the rivers, lakes and seas and the farmer upon the land for his existence, so does mankind in general depend upon the beauty of the world about him for his spiritual and emotional existence.
Ansel Adams
A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into.
Ansel Adams
Black and white photography is truly quite a 'departure from reality', and the transition from one aspect of visual magic to another was not as complete as many imagine.
Ansel Adams
A photograph is not an accident - it is a concept.
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
