Ansel Adams was born in 1902 in San Francisco, California. He was best known for his black and white photographs of the American West, especially Yosemite National Park. Adams, along with Fred Archer developed a technique called Zone System. It was the best way to ensure optimal film exposure and development. This resulted in images with excellent clarity and depth. Adams preferred using large format cameras as their high resolution guaranteed sharpness to his images. Adams was one of the founders of Group f/64 - a group made up of photographers who shared the same photographic style of sharp focused and carefully framed images.
Most of Adams images are of landscape, which requires a large depth of field or deep focus, this allows for the entire image to be in focus.
Some of his images show the breathtaking beauty of nature and landscape. The images guide you through the shapes, texture and beautiful lines of nature.
