Imogen Cunningham

Imogen Cunningham was born in 1883 in Portland, Oregon. Her father named her after a character in one of Shakespeare's plays. He seemed to be a big supporter of the arts; as he encouraged her to read before she even began school and paid for her to go to art lessons every summer. She grew up in Seattle, Washington and attended the University of Washington. Her graduating thesis was titled "Modern Process of Photography".
After graduation, she worked in Edward S. Curtis' portrait studio. She later opened her own portrait studio in Seattle. After she had children, Imogen closed her studio and moved to California with her husband and children.
She continued to practice photography throughout her life and was eventually awarded an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree by California College of Arts and Crafts, Oakland. Imogen Cunningham died on June 23rd, 1976 when she was 93.
Here are some of her photographs! 

I really like how beautiful this picture is. It really captures what the art of ballet/dance is.

I really like this picture. The quality is so good, you can almost see every fiber of the flower! I think this is a really pretty photograph.

The detail in this picture is amazing. This photograph almost makes me speechless. The lighting is perfect and it has an awesome composition.

Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams is a photographer that was born February 20th, 1902 in San Francisco, California. Ansel grew up as an only child, living with his mother, father, and his mother's sister. He lived very close to the Golden Gate Bridge and during an aftershock of an earthquake in 1906, he fell and broke his nose, permanently marking his face. At just the age of 12, Ansel taught himself to read and play piano. His first published photographs were published in a bulletin for the Sierra Club in 1922. These are a few of my favorite Ansel Adams pictures:

I really like the lighting on the tree and rock in this picture. I also really like how clear it it.

I like how Ansel Adams captured the leaf in this picture. The way the light hits it makes it look almost shining.

I really like the look of the water in this picture. It looks kind of foggy and that gives it a creepy essence.
