Ansel Adams Zitate

Ansel Easton Adams war ein US-amerikanischer Fotograf, Autor und Lehrer der künstlerischen Fotografie. Er wurde vor allem bekannt durch seine eindrucksvollen Landschafts- und Naturfotografien aus den Nationalparks, National Monuments und den Wilderness Areas im Westen der Vereinigten Staaten, für deren Erhalt er sich zeitlebens aktiv einsetzte.

Als Mitbegründer der Gruppe f/64 zählt er zu den Pionieren der straight photography und gilt als einer der bedeutendsten amerikanischen Fotografen. Adams verfasste zahlreiche Lehrbücher zu Theorie und Praxis der Fototechnik. Das von ihm zeitgleich mit Fred Archer formulierte Zonensystem wurde wegweisend für die künstlerische Schwarzweißfotografie. Wikipedia

Ansel Adams: Zitate auf Englisch

“To the complaint, 'There are no people in these photographs,' I respond, There are always two people: the photographer and the viewer.”

Kontext: I would never apologize for photographing rocks. Rocks can be very beautiful. But, yes, people have asked why I don’t put people into my pictures of the natural scene. I respond, “There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.” That usually doesn’t go over at all.

“You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”

“For me the future of the image is going to be in electronic form. … You will see perfectly beautiful images on an electronic screen. And I'd say that would be very handsome. They would be almost as close as the best reproductions.”

Interview with Paul Hill (March 1975), published in P. Hill & T.J. Cooper (1979), Dialogue with Photography

“I eagerly await new concepts and processes. I believe that the electronic image will be the next major advance. Such systems will have their own inherent and inescapable structural characteristics, and the artist and functional practitioner will again strive to comprehend and control them.”

“Yes, in the sense that the negative is like the composer’s score. Then, using that musical analogy, the print is the performance. (Paraphrased as "Film is the score and the print is the performance.")”

Ansel Adams

“I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term — meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching — there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.”
