Latest exhibition reviews – Ansel Adams – Oct 2013

I would have to start with the Ansel Adams exhibition that’s on at the Australian National Maritime Museum.

Titled “Photography from the mountains to the sea” this exhibition showcases over 70 original works. Adams creative use of natural light shows through with stunning clarity, as does his love of nature in all its forms. Speaking as a photographer I’ve already seen it twice; once to take in the essence of the works, how it hangs together, the exhibition logistics I suppose you might call it, and once to analyze and dissect the creative aspects, lines, form, composition etc.

I found in his images that his use of light was magical, using it to highlight lines and textures and to frame images within images.

For anyone who is interested in photography this is a must-see event.

On now until December 8th.
