About this Quote

This quote by Ansel Adams talks with the idea that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to developing an excellent photograph. Rather, it is up to the professional photographer to choose what makes a good photo. Adams is suggesting that there is no formula or set of regulations that can ensure a good photograph, yet rather that it is up to the photographer to utilize their own creativity and also skill to create something that they regard to be great. This quote motivates professional photographers to experiment as well as explore various methods as well as strategies to digital photography, as there is no one best means to develop a good photograph. Adams' quote is a suggestion that the very best pictures originate from the photographer's very own distinct vision and also style.
