So my project for school consists of me picking a famous artist of any type. I’m looking to do a photographer.
The project
-3 pieces of the artist work in color copies 8x10 i believe
-brief summary of the artist and why I like his work
-design my own piece of work that would include the style of work the artist uses
so the question. who is a famous photographer I could possibly find at the library in a book. If that is to hard, then what is a famous photographer that would be easy to make my own photo for.
My brother told me about Ansel Adams, but most of his work is more country and stuff i wont find around here.
if anyone can help me out, thank you.

Ansel Adams

> Ansel Easton Adams (February 20, 1902 – April 22, 1984) was an American photographer and environmentalist. His black-and-white landscape photographs of the American West, especially Yosemite National Park, have been widely reproduced on calendars, posters, books, and the internet. Adams and Fred Archer developed the Zone System as a way to determine proper exposure and adjust the contrast of the final print. The resulting clarity and depth characterized his photographs.

You can find info on him and he uses light and tons of material on him since he is usually covered in any photo 101 class

Try John Heartfield. He did Photomontages before the digital age, and quite well at that. He was part of the Dadaist movement which had much more of an affect on current arts than most people realize. He was very anti-Nazi and anti-Hitler and used Sattire to do it. Probably one of the first forms of political sattire in existence.
Another awesome photomontage artist, Jerry Uelsmann. He does his work in photoshop but he has some awesome creations.
It would require a decent amount of skill to make your own work like theirs, but thats why I like them so much.
Dianne Arbus - making ugly beautiful
Elliot Erwitt - sattire in photography (I love his Dog related work)
To name a few…

Salvadore Dali is pretty bad ass. It’s all surrealism stuff. Don’t know if you can use that but check it out!
edit: Im a retard. I should probably read more thoroughly next time. He is an artist, not a photographer.

Zong Gu
Dan Cline
Scott Witter (mostly naked doodz)
Edit - but seriously, Erwitt and Uelsmann are fairly modern. What the hell are you looking for?

You can replicate a shot like Ansel Adams in numerous local places. As far as nature shots go, there is 2 wildlife reserves in Clarence. Also you can get an awesome country road shot that seems to go forever just about anywhere in Akron/Newstead.
