Robert Adams

I know that Robert Adams was featured in the video we watched last week, but he has been so inspirational to me that I had to post a little about him. Robert Adams is a nature photographer who is most known for his documentation of the urbanization of the west. His photographs are all black and white, and are typically square. His work was a part of the New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape exhibition.

What I really love about his work is how minimalist it is. Many of the photos are simply of rows of houses against cliffs or quaint streets. They're mostly landscapes of homes and streets against natural wonders. He also has beautiful nightscapes, which I love.  

I highly suggest looking at his book The New West.
