Ansel Adams
American · b. 1902

Adams created iconic black and white gelatin silver prints of American desert and wilderness landscapes with the same tonal richness and reverent attention to natural forms seen in Misrach's nocturnal desert study.

Edward Weston
American · b. 1886

Weston's monochrome silver gelatin photographs of desert plants and Southwest landscapes share the same close attention to botanical forms and dramatic tonal contrasts that define Misrach's nighttime desert imagery.
Linda Connor
American · b. 1944
Connor works extensively with toned gelatin silver prints of sacred landscapes and desert environments at night, producing contemplative monochromatic images that parallel Misrach's documentary yet lyrical approach to nocturnal nature photography.
