Jim Krantz

If Jim Krantz’s work looks familiar, it is not surprising. Krantz had been documenting the cinematic vistas of the American West for 20 years both for his personal work and on commercial assignments.  What makes Krantz’s images so strong is the technical underpinning of his work established when he studied with Ansel Adams. Perhaps more importantly, Krantz’s work reflects a dictum that he learned from Adams: “Technical proficiency leads to artistic freedom.” His range and versatility are his forte, working with ease in demanding and ever-changing conditions.
