Answer 1

1) Removing unwanted edges to improve composition — cropping trims the frame to improve composition or focus on the subject.

2) A landscape photographer famous for black-and-white images of the American West — Ansel Adams is best known for his highly detailed black-and-white landscapes, especially of Yosemite.

3) Leaves, rocks, ice, and branches — Andy Goldsworthy uses natural materials to create site-specific, often ephemeral land art, which he documents in photographs.
