Ansel Adams was a famous photographer, most notable for his black and white landscapes taken in the midwest. In the beginning of his career he enjoyed experimenting with various techniques but eventually came to love the look for heightened contrast and clear exposure. In fact, in order to help other photographers get these results, with the help of Fred Archer, Adams created the Zone System. This system is a technique that helps photographers define a relationship between what they physically see and the results they get in their developed film. This method is very precise and entails the planning of a photograph including, the time of day (amount of light), subject placement, and even camera placement. In order to achieve this goal, Adam's used a large-format camera due to its high resolution thus resulting in a clear image.
Adam's career took off in the late 1920s when he sold his first portfolio Parmelian Prints of the High Sierras. He stated that this was the first time he felt confident to allow his work to be viewed and critiqued by the public. Adams was quite the artist in fact, his work was replicated on calenders, post cards, and in books not to mention he was also a musician.
