Ansel Adams


Ansel Adams is famous for one of his photographs taken in Yosemite National Park. Adams often uses large depth of field to capture everything in focus; this also ties in with the equipment which he uses - large format cameras, for ultra high resolution. A number of Ansel Adams' original slides turned up at a garage sale for $45, which were estimated to have been worth over $200 million.

Charles Krebs - Micro/Macro Photographer


Micro/Macro photography is the art of discovering and capturing art that's all around us, on a level that most of us don't ever pay attention to. This type of photography often involves special lenses that can focus on a subject only inches away. Focusing rails are sometimes used for focusing onto the subject without shaking the camera. Flash rings are also necessary for extra lighting on the subject. Popular subjects include plants, insects and water. The work of Charles Krebs is often done on a microscopic level.

Eadweard Muybridge - Photographer


Better known as the father of motion pictures, Eadweard Muybridge used multiple cameras and trip wires to create perhaps his most famous work of a horse in motion. Each trip wire released the shutter of a camera and photographs of the horse in those instances were taken. When viewed consecutively, these photos created the illusion of a moving horse.

Nick Veasey - X Ray





The art of Nick Veasey is truly unique. Not many people know of the process that goes into x ray photography. The "studio" was specially built from concrete and lined with lead. Veasey has many x ray machines with varying capabilities. The concrete studio is cleared of people before shooting begins; the machines are operated from the outside. The film is then retrieved and scanned in high resolution. After scanning they go through an editing process where it is digitally cleaned and enhanced. The last image of the plane required more than 500 separate shots for a complete picture.

Zhou Mi - Photographer

Zhou Mi was born in a city called WuXi in JiangSu, China. He photographs tattered objects along the San Francisco coast, calling the series Lost & Found. He sees these discarded objects as friends and reunites with them each time he returns. His favorite subject is people; people are the ultimate subject because they are diverse, complex and full of endless potential.
