Landscape Photography: In the Footsteps of Ansel Adams
by Michael Frye
Paperback from Focal Press
ISBN: 0240812433
Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours
Ansel Adams (1902-1984) was a pioneer of landscape photography, whose
imagery-especially his iconic views of the American National Parks--is
widely published and instantly recognizable. While he is undoubtedly one
of the best-loved and best-known visionaries of American art, photographers
also recognize him as a pioneer of technique, a theoretician, and as one
of the great teachers of the craft of photography.
His zone system has been widely adapted, but Adams unique imagery also
relied on his determination and application at every stage of the photographic
process; he spent years in his darkroom, as well as out in the open air.
For decades, this kind of attention to detail required the kind of equipment,
time, and facilities that were out of the reach of most photographers--but
now, in the digital age, technology has finally made his techniques accessible.
This book will show you what can be learned from Adams working process,
and how these lessons can be applied today. The craft of Adams photography
is discussed, and the ZONE SYSTEM is related to the digital age. Sections
on light, composition, mood, and the darkroom all show what can be achieved
today using and understanding his thinking. Michael Frye's own photography
provides many stunning examples of the results that can be achieved and,
as one of Adams' natural successors in the field, he is well placed to
analyze the inspirational shots which open each chapter.
* Demystifies the art behind the iconic shots * Contains a number of
breathtaking works by Ansel Adams and other landscape masters such as Edward
Weston and Elliot Porter * Written by one of the most reputable fine landscape
photographers, who (like Ansel Adams) uses Yosemite National Park most
frequently as his subject * Breaks the zone systems (famous to Adams) down
in a way that digital photographers can use |
