Robert Adams wins Hasselblad Award

Photographer Robert Adams was recently honored with the famous Hasselblad Award, which is issued by the Swedish Hasselblad Foundation. Adams was born in 1937 and is famous for his visual documentation of the American West (California, Oregon and Colorado) - mainly its landscapes, which he shows exploited and degraded for residential and commercial development. His photographs deal with the coexistence of man and nature, Getty describes his vision as: “The simultaneous existence of harmony and discord, of beauty in ugliness.”
