Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams was a an American photographer from 1927 through the 1970s. He specialized in black and white landscape photography, and was the founder of the photography group F64. The name F64 comes from the small aperture that was commonly used by the group, whose purpose was to contrast the common pictorialist movement that was common at the time. The photos produced by the group were very detailed and have a lot of contrast. Adams' photos commonly capture still photos of vast landscapes and mountains.
