Ansel Adams Books

Ansel Adams Photography Series Set of 3 Books

BOOK 1: THE CAMERA:
The Camera is the essential first volume of the New Ansel Adams Photography Series. While based on the earlier Basic Photo Series-Adams' now-classic approach to photography-the new series contains a wealth of new information, and all the volumes have been completely reorganized and rewritten. Material proceeds logically from basic to advanced information so that photographers at all levels of experience can grasp the concepts and apply those that are relevant to their personal style.

BOOK 2: THE NEGATIVE:
The Negative, Book 2 of the New Ansel Adams Photography Series, presents a full restatement of Ansel Adams' essential concepts of the medium, but takes into account the major evolutionary changes in photographic materials that have occurred since his earlier technical books appeared. Ansel Adams' role in formulating the essential principles used by photographers today can hardly be overstated, considering his contribution of the Zone System and the concept of visualization - both now part of the basic vocabulary of the medium.

BOOK 3: THE PRINT:
For decades, Ansel Adams' photographic prints have been the standard against which all others have been measured. In The Print, Book 3 of The New Ansel Adams Photography Series, Adams completes his statement on the philosophy and craft of creative black-and-white image making. Building on the information presented in Books 1 and 2 of the series, The Camera and The Negative, Adams shows how the making of a fine print is the culmination of the creative process.
