For my personal study I have decided to link three artists work to earth and power. This will hopefully help me within my personal study with inspiration from other artist as well as developing my knowledge of this specific topic to a further extent.
Robert Adams – Robert Adams was born in New Jersey and moved to Colorado. He was a professor of English literature for several years before fully committing to his photography career in the mid 1970s. He also released multiple books such as; The New West, Summer Nights, Los Angeles Spring as well as several others. In 2009 Adams was awarded the Hasselblad foundation international award in photography. Robert Adams bought a 35mm reflex camera in 1963 and this is when he began to take pictures mostly of nature and architecture.
Personally I find Robert Adams work very aspiring due to the fact that each photograph in which he has taken is very unique in there own particular ways and has different morals behind each photograph. However they are all very similar to each other due to the minimalistic contrasts within the photos and the mutual tones used. Additionally I also feel that you can clearly see the main focus in each photograph as well as the non focus which is mainly based on the backgrounds. In my opinion I feel that the photographs which he has taken involving architecture are highly more interesting for one to look at as each building may portray a different story of who may coincide there.
