Becca Baker – Photo Assignment 1

The photographer I chose for this assignment was Ansel Adams. He was known for his black and white photographs of the American wild west. The image I chose to imitate was Mount Williamson-Clearing Storm 1945.

My photo imitation:

Creating this image, I was trying to imitate Adams’ style through his deep contrast. This photo represents his style through the contrast between the rocks, ice, and surrounding buildings. I tried to imitate his nature style through a small spot on campus. I found myself drawn to Ansel Adams for his specific style of photographing nature. When I first began photography, every photo was of surrounding nature. I love the raw aspect and tranquility of it.
