American landscape photographer and environmentalist Ansel Adams known for his black and white photographs of the American West. He and Fred Archer developed a system of image-making called the Zone System, demonstrating the impact that exposure, negative development, and printing have on the tonal range of an image. Together with 'Camera and Lens Book 1,' and 'The Negative (Book 2),' this work is an essential tool for the learning photographer. "His books have been technically accurate and are particularly noteworthy for the sound and practical advice which arises from his own personal experience" (C. B. Neblette, Rochester Institute of Technology Department of Photographic Technology).
