More quotes by Ansel Adams
While the photos at the D.M.V. (New York) will still be taken in color, the engraving is done in grayscale, hence the Ansel Adams feel.
Ansel Adams
I know the importance of highly trained awareness of the “moment” and the immediate and intuitive response of the photographer. It should be obvious to all that photographers whose images possess character and quality have attained them only by continued practice and total dedication to the medium.
Ansel Adams
The photo-journalist and the photo-poet are both important. The problem is to separate the major objectives of the various groups and not to attribute qualities and intentions where they do not belong.
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
I never know in advance what I will photograph,...I Go Out into the World and Hope I Will come across something that Imperatively interests me. I Am Addicted to the Found object. I have No doubt that I Will Continue to make Photographs till my last Breath.
Ansel Adams
In a strict sense photography can never be abstract, for the camera is incapable of synthetic integration.
Ansel Adams
There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.
Ansel Adams
We make images to honor what is greater and more interesting than we are.
Ansel Adams
I hope that my work will encourage self expression in others and stimulate the search for beauty and creative excitement in the great world around us.
Ansel Adams
I respect everything in change and the solemn beauty of life and death... and therefore, while man is amidst the immense beauty of objective bodies, he must possess the capacity of self-perfection and must observe and represent his world with full confidence.
Ansel Adams
Photograph not only what you see but also what you feel.
Ansel Adams
The technique of 35mm photography appears simple. One is beguiled by the quick viewing and operation, and by the very questionable inclination to make many pictures with the hope that some will be good.
Ansel Adams
Wilderness is rapidly becoming one of those aspects of the American dream which is more of the past than of the present. Wilderness is not only a condition of nature, but a state of mind and mood and heart. It cannot be confined to the museum-case status—seen only as a passing diorama from superlative throughways.
Ansel Adams
We who are gathered here may represent a particular delete, not of money and power, but of concern for the earth for the earth's sake.
Ansel Adams
It is easy to take a photograph, but it is harder to make a masterpiece in photography than in any other art medium.
Ansel Adams
The craft of photography is the key to good images.
Ansel Adams
If you have enough craft, you've done your homework and you're practiced. You can then make the photograph you desire.
Ansel Adams
I think we can not categorize. Things do not fit into a mold.
Ansel Adams
The whole world is, to me, very much alive - all the little growing things, even the rocks. I can't look at a swell bit of grass and earth, for instance, without feeling the essential life - the things going on - within them. The same goes for a mountain, or a bit of the ocean, or a magnificent piece of old wood.
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
