While looking at photography books for the AGM92 module, I came across a book featuring 400 photographs by Ansel Adams. When viewing Adams’ images of nature I felt a ‘spark’. When looking at images of buildings and people, I felt nothing. The one image of nature that really made an impact was this.
1950, Gelatin silver print, printed 1973-1977. 19 3/8 x 15 1/4 in. (49.2 x 38.7 cm)
I felt there was a nuance in this image I was channeling within my current work, specifically with this montage.
An aspect to consider and possibly look at further.
