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.

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.

Scott London - Photographer at Burning Man
The Burning Man Festival is held once a year, on a piece of government protected land, in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada. For a few days in a year, Black Rock Desert becomes Black Rock City, where participants come together, forming a community. The event is described as survival and radical self-expression. Scott London is one of the photographers who attend Burning Man. Until 2009, he has attended the festival six years in a row.
There are no spectators to this event. All who attend are referred to as participants. While money isn't allowed on site, so participants are encouraged to make items/trinkets for barter.
