The Artist I chose to use for idea generation is Ansel Adams. He is an extremely famous photographer of the Western region of the United States. He took landscape photos, many of which were commissioned by the United States Park Service. He took photos exclusively in black in white, as was the limitation of the time (Early-mid 20th century).
Looking through his gallery (http://anseladams.com/), it seems that Adams puts in a ton of thought about the exposure and contrast within the content of his subject. Because each exposure took up one of his valuable film rolls, he had to put a ton of thought into each photograph he took. I am using some tips from this article, published by REI, to try and enhance the photos I take. The research I did on Adams allowed me to think more about the levels of contrast between the brightest whites and the darkest blacks on my image. Overall, I think the research allowed me to get the correct amount of contrast while editing the image.
