Ansel Easton Adams (February 20, 1902 – April 22, 1984) was an American photographer and environmentalist. His black-and-whitelandscape photographs of the American West, especially Yosemite National Park, have been widely reproduced on calendars, posters, and in books.
With Fred Archer, Adams developed the Zone System as a way to determine proper exposure and adjust the contrast of the final print. The resulting clarity and depth characterized his photographs. Adams primarily used large-format cameras because their highresolution helped ensure sharpness in his images.
Adams founded the photography Group f/64 along with fellow photographers Willard Van Dyke and Edward Weston (source of information from top: Wikipedia).
Ansel Adams' work really popularized the notion that National Geographic style nature photo colloquialization could do for photography what Andy Warhol's capitalism-lingo portraits did for fashion colloquialization.
For our consumerism culture, Adams' access-themed work makes everyone feel a little better about the mass marketing of photos on the Internet.
Such ideas reveal the artistic demand for Hollywood (USA) movies such as "One Hour Photo" (2002).
