Ansel Adams (1902-1984) was an American photographer and environmentalist, best known for his stunning black-and-white landscape photographs of the American West. He was born on February 20, 1902, in San Francisco, California. Adams developed an early appreciation for nature and the outdoors, which greatly influenced his work. As a young boy, he explored the Yosemite Valley in California with his family, sparking a lifelong connection to the area. At the age of 14, he received his first camera, and photography quickly became his passion. In the 1920s, Adams joined the Sierra Club, a prominent environmental organization, and became an active member. He began capturing the beauty of the natural landscapes, particularly focusing on the Sierra Nevada mountain range and Yosemite National Park. These early images laid the foundation for his later iconic works. Adams believed in the "zone system," a technique he developed with Fred Archer, which involved carefully controlling exposure and development to achieve the desired results. This method allowed him to capture a wide range of tonalities in his black-and-white photographs, resulting in striking contrasts and rich detail. Adams' photographs often depicted grand vistas, majestic mountains, and serene lakes. He had a remarkable ability to capture the interplay of light and shadow, creating images that conveyed a sense of drama and depth. He tirelessly worked to refine his craft, both in the field and in the darkroom, and his dedication to technical excellence contributed to the timeless quality of his photographs. Throughout his career, Adams sought to promote the preservation of natural spaces and the importance of conservation. He believed that his photographs could inspire a greater appreciation for the environment and help raise awareness about the need to protect it. He advocated for the creation of national parks and was instrumental in the growth of the modern environmental movement. Adams' photographs gained widespread recognition and acclaim, and he became one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century. His work appeared in numerous exhibitions, and he published several books, including his iconic "Yosemite and the Range of Light" (1979). He also co-founded the influential photography group "Group f/64," which aimed to promote photography as an art form. Ansel Adams received many honors and accolades for his contributions to photography and conservation. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1980, and in 1984, just a few months before his death, he received the National Medal of Arts. His legacy continues to inspire photographers and nature enthusiasts worldwide. Today, Ansel Adams' photographs are celebrated for their technical mastery and artistic vision. His body of work serves as a testament to the beauty of the American landscape and stands as a reminder of the importance of preserving our natural heritage.

Born on August 22, 1908, in Chanteloup-en-Brie, Seine-et-Marne, France, he witnessed and documented - in his hand-held 35-millimeter Leica camera - some of the world's most defining moments and episodes, including the Spanish Civil War, the partition of India and the German occupation of France among others. Carietr-Bresson also pioneered the genre of street photography and most famously viewed photography as capturing a decisive moment. On his 15th death anniversary, here's looking at a few interesting facts of the famed photographer. -As a child, he was a proud owner of a Box Brownie, and would take snapshots during his school holidays. During his career, he documented portraits of Camus, Picasso, Colette, Matisse, Pound and Giacometti. -He started his career in Africa, particularly the former French colony Côte d’Ivoire. In 1932, he placed his first photography work for exhibition in New York at the Julien Levy Gallery. -In 1935, he again exhibited more of his work at the same gallery, along with fellow photographers Robert Capa and David Seymour. -The Surrealist movement, founded in 1924, influenced the photographer a lot and Cartier-Bresson began socializing with the Surrealists at the Café Cyrano. He was drawn to the Surrealist movement's technique of using the subconscious and the immediate to influence their work. -In 1929, Cartier-Bresson met American expatriate Harry Crosby at Le Bourget who presented Henri with his first camera. -He acted in renowned French film director Jean Renoir's 1936 film Partie de Campagne and in the 1939 La Règle Du Jeu, for which he played a butler and served as second assistant. -Cartier-Bresson's first photojournalist photos to be published came in 1937 when he covered the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. -Henri Cartier-Bresson tied the knot with a Javanese dancer Ratna Mohini in 1937. The couple divorced 30 years later. He then married Martine Franck and together they had a daughter namely Mélanie. -In early 1947, Cartier-Bresson, with Robert Capa, David Seymour, William Vandivert and George Rodger founded the famed Magnum Photos. -He was one of the last people to have met Mahatma Gandhi on January 30, 1948. According to reports, he had shown Gandhi a small catalogue of his one-man exhibition in New York and fifteen minutes after Cartier-Bresson left, Bapu was assassinated. -Cartier-Bresson's method of using only available light, and editing "in the camera" influenced Satyajit Ray in making his Apu Trilogy. -Cartier-Bresson retired from photography in the early 1970s, and by 1975 no longer took pictures other than an occasional private portrait. -Instead, he returned to drawing and painting, holding his first exhibition of drawings at the Carlton Gallery in New York in 1975. -Cartier-Bresson did not like being photographed, and when he accepted an honorary degree from Oxford University in 1975, he held a paper in front of his face to avoid being photographed.
