Ansel Adams

I think it would be safe to say that Ansel Adams is the most famous photographer of all time.  Even non-photo nerds know Ansel Adams and have seen his stunning landscapes.  Adams is well-known as a master of the darkroom.  His black and white landscapes of Yosemite and Grand Teton are outstanding for the captivating contrast that he achieved with extensive dodging and burning in the darkroom.  Even later in his life, he continued to use large format cameras.

Ansel Adams is a master of Landscape Photography and his work has been copied  by generations of landscapes photographers.
