More quotes by Ansel Adams
There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.
Ansel Adams
The negative is comparable to the composer's score and the print to its performance. Each performance differs in subtle ways.
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
When I'm ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my minds eye something that is not literally there in the true meaning of the word. I'm interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without.
Ansel Adams
Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer - and often the supreme disappointment.
Ansel Adams
The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.
Ansel Adams
The artist and the photographer seek the mysteries and the adventure of experience in nature.
Ansel Adams
Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs.
Ansel Adams
The great rocks of Yosemite, expressing qualities of timeless yet intimate grandeur, are the most compelling formations of their kind. We should not casually pass them by, for they are the very heart of the earth speaking to us.
Ansel Adams
I’m interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without.
Ansel Adams
Photograph not only what you see but also what you feel.
Ansel Adams
I think we can not categorize. Things do not fit into a mold.
Ansel Adams
I don't know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is.
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
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
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
The camera cannot, but the photographer can.
Ansel Adams
In my mind's eye, I visualize how a particular... sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice.
Ansel Adams
How high your awareness level is determines how much meaning you get from your world. Photography can teach you to improve your awareness level.
Ansel Adams
I can look at a fine art photograph and sometimes I can hear music.
Ansel Adams
