1. Art Wolfe has a unique style to how he takes nature photographs. When you first look at his photographs, you think that the colours are fake. But all of the bright colours are in fact real. But some of the photographs taken by him of wild life have not been as true. When you look closely at some of his nature photographs depicting animals in pairs, you can notice that the two animals are the same and were "cloned." He is a recent photographer and thus he uses a digital camera, not film prints. He does not seem to use lighting and lots of crew members because all of them seem to be personally shot photographs of wild life and nature, not some studio shot for a billboard or fashion magazine.
2. Jim Brandenburg also has a unique style. He has taken both black and white pictures as well as colour pictures. He has gone all over the world taking many different photographs of many different places, and thus, every photograph is very different from another. Unlike Wolfe, he is not known for his bright colour photographs, and is instead interested in the black and white landscape of winter. He has taken both film prints in his early career, and digital photographs later in his career. Brandenburg does not use false lighting and crew members because all of his photographs seem to be personally shot photographs of wild life and nature.
3. Ansel Adams has been known for his black and white images of wildlife and nature. He is most famous for his "wild west" style of photographing. He has been taking pictures for a very long time and died in the 1980's so he used film prints, not digital because he was not around when there were digital cameras. All of the photographs that Adams has taken have all been on his own in the west, namely Yosemite, and thus was not in a studio with fake lighting and lots of camera crews. He did not edit his photographs because he stopped taking photographs before any type of "photoshop" editing occurred.

This looks fine, Chris. Be careful of including statements like "his art is unique" without backing them up or explaining why. For example, are you implying that Jim Brandenburg's style unique because he takes both color and black and white photographs?
