Ansel Adams is unquestionably one of the most influential photographers of the twentieth century, and in many ways helped create the landscape photography genre. In this video, I share the backstory of my first encounter with his work (in the 1980s), my favorite images, plus a number of technical and creative lessons we can learn from.
