Landscape photography has profoundly reshaped global standards of beauty. Iconic images like Ansel Adams’ Yosemite or Steve McCurry’s Afghan Girl redefined “sublime” and “expressive,” turning remote wilderness and human faces into universal ideals. Social media amplified this: millions now chase viral vistas and golden-hour clichés, often prioritizing photogenic drama over raw experience. What cameras glorify—symmetrical peaks, saturated skies—has become the new benchmark of “beautiful.”Yet it also narrowed taste: lesser-known, subtler landscapes are overlooked. In short, yes—it didn’t just record beauty; it manufactured it.https://www.nationalgeographic.com/photography https://www.anseladams.com https://500px.com/popular
