Description

Environmentalist, author, technical innovator, storyteller, classical pianist, and teacher, Ansel Adams is primarily known for his landscape photography. His photographs not only serve as visual documents of a particular place, eternalized in bountiful splendor, but are representations of the land informed by his personal vision. This volume examines the photographers whose work affected Ansel Adams' life and career, as well as his enormous and long-lasting impact on photography, art, and conservation. A stunning portfolio of Adams' photographs for the National Park Service offers the reader a window into the creative spirit of this remarkable man. Over 120 photographs by Ansel Adams and his contemporaries are included in this volume.
