More quotes by Ansel Adams
There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.
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
The craft of photography is the key to good images.
Ansel Adams
I believe in beauty. I believe in stones and water, air and soil, people and their future and their fate.
Ansel Adams
I tried to keep both arts alive, but the camera won. I found that while the camera does not express the soul, perhaps a photograph can!
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
The term accessories has come to include a host of photographic gadgets of questionable value.
Ansel Adams
With all art expression, when something is seen, it is a vivid experience, sudden, compelling, and inevitable.
Ansel Adams
A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into.
Ansel Adams
I think photography is being recognized and collected. Its values have certainly gone up and continue to go up.
Ansel Adams
Impression is not enough. Design, style, technique - these, too, are not enough. Art must reach further than impression or self-revelation .
Ansel Adams
For me the future of the image is going to be in electronic form... You will see perfectly beautiful images on an electronic screen. And Id say that would be very handsome. They would be almost as close as the best reproductions.
Ansel Adams
You don't take a photograph, you make it.
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
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
It is increasingly clear to me that my art relates more and more to a sublimation of my closeness to the natural world, it's events, light itself, and the positive it is a personal expression based on observation and reaction, that I am not able to define except in terms of the work itself.
Ansel Adams
The only things in my life that compatibly exists with this grand universe are the creative works of the human spirit.
Ansel Adams
The skies and land are so enormous, and the detail so precise and exquisite that wherever you are you are isolated in a glowing world between the macro and the micro.
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
To visualize an image (in whole or in part) is to see clearly in the mind prior to exposure, a continuous projection from composing the image through the final print.
