Ansel Adams Guide by John P Schaefer

This profusely illustrated text amplifies the fundamental principles and techniques of photography and teaches the reader to utilize both traditional and modern methods of printmaking as a vehicle for creative expression. The audience is the serious amateur - college students on photography courses - or professional photographers seeking a higher level of technique. The reader will be expected to have attained the level described in book 1. In book 2 the emphasis is on the creative application of these techniques. Anyone who works through this text and completes the darkroom exercises will have the ability to become a skilled image-taker and creative printmaker. The systematic way in which Ansel Adams approached the analysis of photographic problems and devised strategies for solving those problems will be the guide for the book's approach. Included are chapters on creative techniques, the zone system, alternative photographic printing processes, colour photography and electronic imaging - with numerous examples of work by Ansel Adams and others.

JOHN P. SCHAEFER is a leadeing authority on Adams' work and was one of the founders in 1975 of the Center for Creative Photography which houses the Adams archive. He is one of the trustees of the Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust.
