A photographer is someone who is energized by the world that exists all around them, no matter where that may be.
Many contemporary photographers that have gained notoriety have done so by their inimitable visions they have viewed through their respective camera lenses.
For example, Ansel Adams, the man that is known for his stunning images of landscapes of national parks in America especially Yosemite, and the Sierra Nevadas such as his 1944 Yosemite image “Autumn Tree Against Cathedral Rocks” or his 1948 “Moon and Mountain McKinley.” Adams is also noted for his famous “zone system” of imaging.
Famous photgrapher Ernst Haas once said that photography was a bridge between art and science, this thought could be seen in his images such as his 1950 image called “Sea Gun” or his new 1952 New York City, “Oil Spill.”
Being able to see beyond the ordinary to capture distinctive images is what drives great photographers create their art.
Famous women photographers of whom many folks have not had the pleasure of their one of a kind art such as Dorothea Lange’s 1942 image “This is America: Keep it Free” or her famous 1936 image “Migrant Mother.”
Lange became famous for her compassionate images of the dust bowl era, which truly spoke of those hard times in America!
Another woman photographer whose drive and extraordinary visions propelled her to greatness was Life Magazine photographer Margaret-Bourke-White who was noted as being the first woman war correspondent; she was present in 1945 at the Buchenwald Nazi concentration to photograph the horrors of the war when the camp was liberated.
These individuals are but a few of the truly visionary photographers that have captured the world in images for folks everywhere to observe and remember those poignant photographic messages.
