Which photographer made the better plea for nature?

Robert Adams for sure

Ansel was an atheist bougie who funded his road trips to exotic locations and Robert Adams is a christian and he is more concerned about the slaughtered landscape in his immediate surroundings. Too frame the "mundane" and ugly beautifully requires far more skill than going to an exotic location. Robert Adams' influence is everywhere in contemporary landscape.

Ansel, the other one just insist upon itself

>>4473030
Didn't Ansel Adams help convince a president to create a national park? That alone probably dwarfs whatever Robert Adams has done in the miniscule world of landscape photography. Also claiming Ansel is solidly less influential than anyone in landscape is disingenuous, at best it's a tossup.

>>4473036
thats too grounded in reality

modern art is competitive signaling pretending its not obviously just abstracted large primate ethology

>>4473036
I am not American so I don't care about national parks things, I only care about photography and what it says. Robert Adams taught us a fine thing that is to care about the landscape around our homes where we spend most time of our lives. This thing is universal, this is why Robert Adams is of great importance to me and many other contemporary photographers.

Ansel was okay with raping the local landscape as long as there are some gay parks for bougies tourists.

>Also claiming Ansel is solidly less influential than anyone in landscape is disingenuous, at best it's a tossup.
Not denying his influence even Robert Adams him said that Ansel influenced him.

ah so you are the kind of retard that only takes photos on his backyard, gotcha

>>4473043
Never said that

>>4473042
I guess it depends on what you mean by "plea for nature" but preserving the grandeur of untouched parts or nature is at least as important as caring about your fucked up suburbs. It sounds like you just like Robert Adams more.

So we're smoking crack now

Ansel wasn't the first one to do that, people like Carleton E. Watkins, Eadweard J. Muybridge, Timothy H. O'Sullivan, William Henry Jackson etc. all were on it way before him.

Ansel Adams was a simp who photographed the worst president of pre-Obama and Biden history.
