I think that Ansel Adam’s photos caused people to appreciate nature more and to see the beauty in it. I chose this photographer because my favorite kind of photographs are of nature and landscapes, and his photos inspire me to go out and take pictures of nature. I think his style of taking landscape pictures intrigues people and it expresses the beauty of nature. Personal Reflection
