Ansel Adams

Although i am new to Ansel Adams photography as soon as i saw his work i was speechless.I love how ellegant yet powerfull his work is.He was apparently a bit crackers but from reaserch i found that his knowledge and awarness of photography is far greater than anyones i have and ever will meet.Ther is a tale that he once found out the perfect exposure for one of his photographs by calculating how much the moon reflects in a certain month.

Julia Margaret Cameron

Julia Margaret Cameron started her photography career late on in life as she was given a camera for her 48th birthday.Although her career was short lived lasting around 11 years i find her and her work really inspiring.Although she used a variation of people to model for her i particularly like her work when she used women.The reason for this is that women at this time definitely had less power than men and this definitely is shown if you think of all the great artists of the past the majority i can think of are males.Art as a whole not just photography was a male dominated environment.The reason i love her as a photographer is because she had a great ability to capture emotion when she photographed women she gave them strength.

Frida Kahlo

Although i am studying photography i still really enjoy painting.I love all Frida Kahlo's work not just because i like the style she paints in but because her paintings represent the different stages of her life.I think she had a great ability to be able to express all different types of emotion through her work. Even as a photographer Frida Kahlo is one of the artists that have inspired me most.

Stina Persson

This is an artist called Stina Persson. I find all her styles and different ways of working inspiring.

I love the great way she uses colours and layering in her work.She works with many different medias for example: water colours, cut paper, acrylic paint and inks.She also incorporates photography in her work i think these pieces are her most successful as it show she can combine and present her unique style in different ways.

Here are some example of her work.
