Robert Adams Video

The Robert Adams video was very interesting for me to watch because I want to learn more about photography and how to capture photos that can be considered fine art rather than for practical use. Adams seems to truly enjoy his work, and his subject, nature is something that he is very close with. I think that in order to take good photographs you have to have some sort of passion or connection to the subject of your photography like Adams connection with nature. He does a good job of bringing out the character that he finds in different sites and seeing things through the eyes of a camera, which is as he says an improvement on what we can see plainly with our eyes. He also creates a lot of contradictory images by capturing human influence on nature, such as the beer can sitting on the tree stump. It was interesting that he photographed the industrialization and deforestation of land, which he hated, but he ended up very happy with the photographs because of they way they portrayed the sites.
