Ansel Adams
I chose Ansel Adams as he was a landscape photographer and one of the founders of the department of photography in America. I quite like landscape photography and I feel his photos still hold up today.
I feel he uses the lightings in his photos very effectively as he allows for gorgeous shots of land or sky but also uses shadow or light to illuminate a subject in his photos, see the above for examples with the landscapes being beautiful however the very dark trees are really what draws the eye in. I believe he used these lighting skills to the best of his ability and made otherwise bland photos jump out with a kind of nature or foreboding atmosphere.
