Marc Adamus

This essay is about a man named Marc Adamus. He is a professional landscape photographer, and he has had his pictures in a large variety of things. Such as calendars, magazines, and books.

Adamus lives in Corvallis, Oregon. I think that’s kind of cool, because he lives near me. He takes most of his pictures in Oregon and the Northwest area. That seems to strange to me, because his pictures are so gorgeous, and look like they should be coming from all over the world.

Adamus said “It’s not about where you are, it’s about how you see.” and that kind of struck me, because I think that’s true. You could be taking a picture of somewhere you walk by and to someone else, it just a dull cluster of trees, or patch of flowers, but to someone else they see it as a masterpiece created by nature. 

Adamus’ goal is to capture the magnificence and beauty of our multi-dimensional world the best he can with his camera, and to illustrate all of the rich moments he’s experienced. Although he thinks it’s not possible to capture the entire essence of where he is, but he does his best to capture the beauty the best he can.

He thinks that the most important quality of a picture is that it causes an emotional response. I think that makes sense; although I’ve never thought of it that way.  It can be hard to show emotion in a photograph, because while Adamus feels it, he has to portray that in his photos. 

Marc Adamus has a passion for taking photograph, and I really enjoy his photos. I hope that you will be able to see them and enjoy them as much as I have.
