Adams is known for his impressive black and white pictures of American landscapes. He's considered as one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century. In the years 1944-1958 he photographed the national parks in America and was awarded three Guggenheim awards for it. He's regarded as the successor of Timothy O'Sullivan, a renowned nature photographer from the 19th century.
Adams' pictures show the pure beauty of nature, they are almost "unearthly". The composition and photometry he masters are also almost "unearthly".
