My Reflections about the works of 12 Photographers who I have chosen
Ansel Adams – The grandfather of landscape photography. He
is the one nature photographer that transcends the genre and even photography
for that matter. His images are so well-known that photographers and
tourists-alike are still trying to fill his tripod holes 60 – 70 years after
his most famous images were made. Perhaps his greatest legacy were his
environmental conservation efforts with the Sierra Club that led to creation of
Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks among other areas, and also the art
education institutions that he helped to create.
Reflection:
His works are outstandingly beautiful for BW. The resolution
and the sharpness on the contrast and detail are amazing. I can feel the sensation
and present of nature. It is just nice i can’t say a word to describe this.
His works:
Galen Rowell – A well-rounded photojournalist with a special
ability to connect with a vast audience through his writings, Rowell influenced
countless photographers in multiple genres beginning with rock climbing,
wilderness adventure and then eventually landscape photography in the 2nd half
of his career. The list of current working photographers that have followed in
his footsteps reads like a who’s who in outdoor adventure and landscape
photography and number too many to list. He was one of the first to utilize
35mm cameras exclusively in outdoor photography and popularized the use of
graduated neutral-density filters.
Reflection:
His works are magnificent. With the colours of nature by
their side, it looks stunning. It is like a human eye would picture.

His work:
Eliot
Porter – In contrast with Ansel Adams’ big landscape style, Porter’s photos
were more “quiet” and focused on the intimate landscape scenes that are easily
overlooked. It is easy to overlook his body of work in favor of postcard views
but one needs to only look at the photographers that he influenced to see that
his work has left a lasting impact. Photographers including William Neill and
Charlie Cramer have styles that bear a strong resemblance to Porter’s vision.
His most famous body of work is arguably the book, In Wildness Is the
Preservation of the World.
Reflection:
His works are about mother nature mostly. I am with his bird picture he captured. The Glen Canyon is marvelous. He did portrait but less than mother nature.

His works:
David Muench – Like Ansel Adams did with black and white
landscape photography a generation prior, Muench is synonymous with color
landscape photography. The now-cliche’d use of prominent foreground elements
leading the eye through the frame to the background in the distance was a style
that Muench became known for back in the 50’s and 60’s. You would walk into any
library or bookstore in America in the past 40 years and be hard-pressed to not
see his books or calendars even if you don’t know his name.
Reflection:
His Works are stunning. from the sunrise to sunset, his pictures are golden. Full of golden colour from the sunrise and sunset. It is hard to imagine the clouds on the mountains peaks, it is very good

His works:
Carleton Watkins – Created some of the earliest known images
of Yosemite National Park which helped to spark interest in the western
landscape.
Reflection:
His works are in form of sepia and BW. Either of that, I found it not bad but it is quiet different from Ansel Adams.

His works:
Philip Hyde – A top Sierra Club photographer in the 50 –
70’s, Hyde’s photography was instrumental in campaigns to save southwestern
landscapes from flooding due to dams including the Grand Canyon and Dinosaur
National Monument which led to the birth of the modern environmental movement.
A number of leading nature photographers cite him as an inspiration for their
life’s work.
Reflection:
His works are in colour and BW, but is still look marvelous. His works are kind of simple and easy but nice.
His works:
Robert Glenn Ketchum – He is arguably the most prominent
conservation photographer working today. His photography is actively used to
further environmental causes in the American political system. His aerial
photography of Alaskan landscapes are especially stunning.
Reflection:
His works are easy to guess. mother nature of landscapes. From air to ground, and ground to ground
They are well pictured and nice, even lights can be seen just like what I see in real life.

His works:
John Shaw – The author of several best-selling nature
photography how-to books he is often credited with helping beginning
photographers to improve their photography and is still a leading figure in the
workshop market today.
Reflection:
His works are about Mother nature: animals and landscapes. I think he could have been working for National Geographic. His works are very nice and well.
His works:
Arthur
Morris – A sign of an influential photographer is one that is often imitated,
and one would be hard-pressed to see any bird photography that doesn’t bear
Morris’ influence. He is arguably the most prolific bird photographer of
all-time and runs a successful birding workshop business.
Reflection:
His works are about birds and in every shots are focused. This is very well focused and amazing.

Donald
"Don" McCullin, CBE Hon FRPS (9 October 1935) is an internationally
known British photojournalist, particularly recognized for his war photography
and images of urban strife. His career, which began in 1959, has specialised in
examining the underside of society, and his photographs have depicted the
unemployed, downtrodden and the impoverished.
Reflection:
His works and picture has story behind it. every works I saw are meaningful and I could see the story and how I imagined. Mostly are about humanity and suffering and hate
