Peter Lik (born 1959) is also a self taught photographer born in Melbourne Australia.  He discovered his love for photography at a very young age, and just like Adams, started his career photographing Yosemite National Park.  Later he returned to Australia and continued to take pictures of landscapes with the techniques that made him famous; dramatic lighting, angels and intense colours.

Peter Lik

Although Adams' and Lik's styles look very similar, there are several differences.  Some are obvious due to the different times and how technology in cameras has improved a great deal but Lik mostly uses colour, one of the reasons he is most famous for; the bright shades.
