Ansel Adams [|__http://anseladams.com/about-ansel-adams/ansel-adams-biography/__]

Ansel Adams is a Historical Photographer meaning he mostly worked with film in a dark room. Adams is known for his strong ability to capture nature and national parks in no way that anyone else could. He primarily stick to highly contrasting black and white photos that capture every single detail of the nature that he is capturing. Adams inspired me because of my love for nature. I love being outside and being able to soak it in, so to be able to get that same feeling just from a picture is very inspiring.

John Paul Caponigro [|__http://www.johnpaulcaponigro.com/__]

John Paul Caponigro is a modern photographer that finds a way to capture nature and enhance it with photoshop. Caponigro focuses on turning something that is already beautiful into something more. He takes what would seem like boring or dull pictures and then uses bright vivacious colors from photoshop to bring them to life. I am inspired from Caponigro due to the fact that I too love capturing nature. However, just like him I like to enhance the colors to bring images y o life even more. Since our creativity styles are similar I am very inspired by the way his photos turn out and hope for the same.

Robert Bergman (Bergman chooses to stay anonymous and not provide his photo to the public) [|__https://brooklynrail.org/2004/05/art/bergman__]

Robert Bergman is a modern photographer that focuses on telling stories through just the look of his photo. His main goal is to capture the homeless in Brooklyn, New York and use their harsh expressions to help bring attention to the homeless community and to help tell their stories. I am very inspired by him because I too would love to tell a whole story just from my photos. Also, his moral behind his work is truly inspirational and kind.

My Final Project

For my final project I will be combining the styles of creativity from each of these photographers and making my own series of photos. The concept of my photo will be to capture a serene and peaceful landscape, which was inspired by both Adams and Caponigro. Then I will be incorporating a model into it and will try to relate the calm feeling into the models expression to help portray the concept, this was inspired by Bergman. I feel as though putting together a beautiful landscape with a portrait will help tell a story and both focal points will balance each other out. Caponigro not only took pictures of nature, but he photoshopped them with bright colors which is what I will be doing to my photo. I feel as though a strong, bod edit will help make my image stand out and keep the concept strong.
