More quotes by Ansel Adams

Image
There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.
Ansel Adams
Image
Image quality is not the product of a machine, but of the person who directs the machine, and there are no limits to imagination and expression.
Ansel Adams
Image
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
Image
The craft of photography is the key to good images.
Ansel Adams
Image
My last word s that it all depends on what you visualize.
Ansel Adams
Image
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
Image
I think we can not categorize. Things do not fit into a mold.
Ansel Adams
Image
To the vast majority of people a photograph is an image of something within their direct experience: a more-or-less factual reality. It is difficult for them to realize that the photograph can be the source of experience, as well as the reflection of spiritual awareness of the world and of self.
Ansel Adams
Image
...one sees differently with color photography than black-and-white... in short, visualization must be modified by the specific nature of the equipment and materials being used.
Ansel Adams
Image
Photograph not only what you see but also what you feel.
Ansel Adams
Image
Now there is a big turnover in the galleries. The top galleries are getting better all the time. A lot of galleries just struggle along, then a new one comes along. There are certainly a great number of galleries. I think this argues well for the art but there are, of course, a lot of phonies in all the arts.
Ansel Adams
Image
I’m interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without.
Ansel Adams
Image
Knowing what I know now, any photographer worth his salt could make some beautiful things with pinhole cameras.
Ansel Adams
Image
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
Image
To photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surfaces and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live or are latent in all things.
Ansel Adams
Image
The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.
Ansel Adams
Image
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
Image
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
Image
If what I see in my mind excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph.
Ansel Adams
Image
Millions of men have lived to fight, build palaces and boundaries, shape destinies and societies but the compelling force of all times has been the force of originality and creation profoundly affecting the roots of human spirit.
